UPCOMING PROGRAMS AND EVENTS

Stewarding Our Native Land Snails

Tuesday, October 13, 2026, 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Location: Sardis Baptist Church (5811 Sardis Road, Charlotte, NC 28270)

Like all parts of nature, snails are just as impacted by our stewarding actions as the bugs and the birds. Denise Furr and Emily Phifer are Adjunct Curators for the Schiele Museum of Natural History, and have been studying land snails in the Carolinas for decades. Join us for a discussion about native and invasive snail species, how those small creatures impact our landscape, and how best to manage your garden and yard for the good snails.

Kids in Nature Day

Sunday, October 25, 2026, 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Location: Reedy Creek Park, Shelter 4 (2900 Rocky River Road, Charlotte, NC 28215)

Kids in Nature Day (KIND) is a free, fun-filled, hands-on adventure where kids and families get up close with nature! Activities include meeting animal ambassadors, creating art from things found only in nature, a guided nature hike, exploring native plants and animals, and more. NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED!

Our programs and events are free and open to everyone.

Monthly educational programs run September through May and are offered in-person at Sardis Baptist Church and online. Occasionally we have a remote speaker in which case the program will be online only.

Other events such as creek cleanups, guided nature walks, birdhouse installations, invasive plant removals, and more are held across the Charlotte area and provide a fun, family-friendly way to connect with nature.

Stay up-to-date by signing up for our monthly newsletter.
