Birds, Bioblitz, and Scavenger Hunt at Woodland Regional Park Preserve

Bring the family to discover the birds of Woodland Regional Park Preserve (WRPP) and participate in a scavenger hunt and an iNaturalist BioBlitz! The park will be open from 8:00am to 1:00pm - join us when it fits your schedule!

Discover the Birds of Woodland Regional Park Preserve: Certified California Naturalists will lead a guided exploration of the birds of WRPP. Bring your binoculars and spotting scopes - Tuleyome will have a limited number of binoculars for participants to borrow. This portion of the event starts at 8:00 am.

iNaturalist BioBlitz: Participate in a Community Science effort by taking photographs of plants and animals at the park and uploading them to iNaturalist. Our goal is to do a BioBlitz each season to document the changes in the plants and animals present in the park - your observations will be a big help with this effort! No prior experience with iNaturalist is necessary, though you should plan on downloading the app and making an account prior to arriving at the park. This activity is appropriate everyone ages 13 and up.

Nature Scavenger Hunt: Pick up a nature scavenger hunt card and try to find as many items as you can while exploring the park! This activity is appropriate for everyone ages 4 and up. We will also have kids binoculars available to borrow while you're at the park.

Youth Boot Bank: Tuleyome's Youth Boot Bank provides free 6-month loans of hiking boots to youth in our community. If you've got kids that need hiking boots or have kids hiking boots you'd like to donate, please come on by!

The park is not yet open to the public, so this is a special opportunity to see it before the grand opening later this year. Here's a pin showing the location of the park entrance.

Bilingual Mindfulness Walk / Caminata de Atencion Plena

A llegada del otoño nos entusiasma por los variados colores de los árboles. Al mismo tiempo, el cambio de temporada puede significar un reto. Requiere que nos adaptemos a pasar más tiempo adentro, al frío y a los días con menos luz. Un excelente antídoto para enfrentar los cambios de temporada es la atención plena. Con ayuda de los árboles, otras plantas, y los animales podemos encontrar resiliencia y belleza en esta transición. Acompañe a Claudia Linares y Sarah Low en esta caminata de atención plena en Swan Creek Park, quienes nos enseñaran prácticas que podemos llevar a casa. 

  • Punto de encuentro: Estacionamiento del parque de perros de Swan Creek Park. 2106 E 44th St, Tacoma, WA 98404, USA
  • Trae tus zapatos más cómodos para caminar y vístete de acuerdo con el pronóstico del tiempo. Te recomendamos traer un impermeable y capas de ropa calientitas, de acuerdo con el pronóstico. 

 

The arrival of fall and its colorful tree canopy can give us comfort.  At the same time, change is always hard! The seasonal transition requires that we adapt to cooler and darker months, when we’ll spend more time indoors. Practicing mindfulness with the help of trees, other plants, and wildlife during this transitional period can help us find resilience and beauty in change. Join Claudia Linares and Sarah Low at Swan Creek Park and take home some mindfulness strategies for the season ahead. 

  • Meeting Point: Swan Creek Dog Park parking lot. 2106 E 44th St, Tacoma, WA 98404, USA
  • Wear comfortable shoes, and dress according to the forecast. Consider bringing rain gear and warm layers according to the weather forecast.
