Environment Events in Bristol

Join us as we create beautiful homes for toads in the garden. Toads are welcome guests that eat loads of insects and slugs that munch on our favorite plants. Using new and repurposed materials, we will provide snazzy new digs for these amazing creatures and learn about them too! Each participant will make their own Toad Abode to take home. Materials are included.

Experience the peace of Blithewold as the birds do! Environmental Educator Connie Ganley will guide you through our natural spaces to take in and connect with the early morning sights, sounds, and scents during this leisurely stroll. Research has shown that time spent in nature has healing and therapeutic health benefits. Unwind, recharge, and experience the benefits of “nature therapy” all day! Please bring a water bottle and wear sturdy walking shoes. Walks are held rain (light) or shine. Not appropriate for children under 12.

Join Dr. Beth Brantley of Bartlett Tree Experts on an illuminating walk to talk about the value, importance, and incredible traits of some of Blithewold's longest-lived specimens. These trees have persisted through multiple climate changes, storm events, and other challenges to provide us with something to gaze upon with wonder and awe! An excellent opportunity to appreciate some character-defining trees on a very personal level. This tour is held rain or shine, so please dress for the weather.
