Signs of Spring / Equinox Nature Walk in Lincoln Park

No matter where you are on earth, the equinox brings us a number of seasonal effects, noticeable to nature lovers around the globe. In the PNW, we are welcoming the NEW: buds, blooms, fragrances, pollinators, returning birds, bats, bees, increasing light and joyous color. We say goodbye to our resident winter birds and hello to spring arrivals. Everywhere, birds can be observed preparing for new families. The sights and sounds of our natural world ‘waking up’ surround us; from shoots bursting through the soil to an eruption of buds, blooms, and critter activity. This can really lift the spirits as their exuberance is contagious. Join us in discovering the current equinoctial extravaganza now on display in Lincoln Park (often hidden in plain sight)! Co-hosted by West Seattle Naturalists, Ann Anderson and Duncan Endava.
