SUMMARY:Forest Bathing @ NJ Audubon
DESCRIPTION:Led by Joy Mentzer\, Certified Forest Bathing Guide \nForest bathing is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku. It is a practice that supports health and wellness through guided immersion in nature. Forest bathing is a slow walk where people are guided through a sequence of invitations to slow down\, be present with our senses\, and experience the natural environment. Research studies have shown the practice of forest bathing has many benefits. The impact on our health is substantial: lowering blood pressure\, boosting immune function\, improving quality of sleep\, and decreasing stress & anxiety. The practice of forest bathing creates a path to reconnect and deepen the relationship to nature\, to others\, to our communities\, and to ourselves. The health of nature and the health of people are woven together. \nJoy is a certified Forest Bathing Guide through the Shinrin Yoku Association. She strives to live a life that honors the connection between nature and people. \nTicket sale ends 11/15 at 4:00 PM. \nCOST: $45 members\, $55 nonmembers. \nInterested in becoming a member?

SUMMARY:2025 World Series of Birding
DESCRIPTION:At midnight\, on May 19\, 1984\, 13 teams set out on a 24-hour treasure hunt. Their mission: To tally as many different species of birds by sight or sound. Their objective: To raise money for their favorite environmental cause\, and to focus attention on the habitat needs of migrating birds. \nThey succeeded beyond anyone’s dreams and in 2025\, we hope to see over 90 teams and participants vie for glory and their share of the excitement in North America’s most spirited conservation fundraising event\, the Annual WORLD SERIES OF BIRDING. \nJoin in on the fun while raising money and awareness for bird and habitat conservation. \nWHY? \nThe World Series of Birding is a “competitive” big day. But just like a marathon\, the accent is on participating\, not winning. There are many benefits to participants\, teams and sponsors. Here are just a handful: \n\nIt draws attention to the habitat needs of migrating birds\nIt provides birders a chance to test and use their skills for a great cause\nIt provides a forum for interaction between birders\, conservation organization representatives and businesses that cater to the birding market\nIt generates hundreds of thousands of dollars for a number of worthy conservation organizations\nIt focuses national attention on the challenge and adventure of birding\nIt’s FUN!\n\nWSB Awards Brunch \nCelebrate the 42nd Annual World Series of Birding at the Awards Brunch on Sunday morning. Doors open at 9 am for a hot breakfast buffet and lively conversation with your fellow WSB participants. Remarks begin at 10:00 am sharp. Awards are presented to the teams with the most species in the Zeiss Youth Division and the Level I Bird Conservation Challenge and teams take the mic to tell a story about their day. After the awards\, we pass the mic so a representative from every team at the brunch has a chance to share a highlight of the day. It’s the culmination of months of preparation and great birding\, so come and join the fun! \nOfficial WSB T-Shirt \nEvery year\, the World Series of Birding creates a custom t-shirt featuring an artist with ties to the event. This year’s beautiful work is by Jack McDonough\, whom you may recognize if you visit the Cape May Springwatch or observe a monarch tagging demonstration by the Cape May Monitoring Project in the fall. The artwork adorns the front of the t-shirt and the names of all the teams registered by April 14th are printed on the back\, along with our major sponsors. T-shirts are high-quality 100% cotton and are available in youth and adult sizes.
