Please Note The Following:
- Today’s agenda times may be adjusted to best suit instruction.
- Remember to pack a lunch – since there are no food services at Cool Spring Farm or close by.
- As a reminder, bug repellant and/or long sleeves and long pants are suggested because of the presence of tics.
- You will be out & about moving around looking for birds and sturdy shoes are suggested – the ground may be wet/muddy/rocky, and there are critters like snakes & such… open toed shoes/sandals are discouraged.
- Dress in layers since it may be cool in the morning, warm up in the afternoon, and then cool down in the evening.
- You may wish to bring a flashlight with you for the evening.
- You may wish to bring related field guides or books.
- You may wish to bring binoculars; however there is no need to purchase binoculars for this class – as this class provides you with binocular information in order for you to make a future purchase if you choose to do so in the future.
- Remember to provide your own lawn chairs, silverware, plates & cups.
- You may want your spouse/companion to bring your ‘potluck’ food item – since there is no refrigeration available. (Inform them to arrive @ 5:00pm)
