Dear Friends:

Yes it is hot out, but the Friends of Lorraine Cherry Nature Preserve are sweating out the details on upcoming fall events at LCNP. Just like summer movies that have trailers, here is a sneak peak of what will occur at LCNP.  We will provide details by the end of August.

Morning Mindfulness Saturday morning dates - October 7, November 4 and December 2.

Bird Walks in the Forest resume weekly on Tuesdays beginning Tuesday, September 5 at 8:00 am, meeting at the kiosk across from the corner of Pineshade and Shelterwood.

Thursday Evening Bird Walks this fall are September 7, October 5, November 2 at 5:30 pm meeting at the kiosk across from the corner of Pineshade and Shelterwood.

Birding Field Trips are being planned for the year: The first one will be Saturday, August 26 to join the Purple Martin watch with Houston Audubon. Meet at the kiosk at the corner of Pineshade and Shelterwood to caravan to the mall parking lot at 6:45. Bring: folding chair, water bottle full of cold water, and an umbrella. If you've never seen a large group of birds gather and roost, you will be delighted to watch this.

Saturday Movie Night: November 11, 2023 in the Ballfields. Movie to start around 5:30 pm. 20 Minute, Guided Tree Walks in the Forest will be available from 4:00 until the movie begins. Bring: folding lawn chair or blanket to sit on, bug spray, water bottle.

And finally a new feature will be added to the LCNP. The Heights Chamber of Commerce, the Friends Group and the HPARD have joined forces to make this happen, details to come soon!

Many events are planned this fall so watch this space for details and mark your calendars. In closing, it is the support of the community and numerous volunteers that drives our success. Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely, Friends of the LCNP.
