SUMMARY:Black Birders Week
DESCRIPTION:Black Birders Week | Sunday\, May 24 – Saturday\, May 30\nBlack Birders Week was founded under the group Black AF in STEM in 2020\, due to the lack of representation of the Black community in the outdoor space. \n2026 Theme: “Flyways & Freedom: Advocacy\, Action\, and the Future” \nThis theme is about the journey toward liberation\, the advocacy required to protect our shared environment\, and the decisive action needed to build a future where everyone belongs. \nEvents in Jacksonville:\nJoin St. Johns Riverkeeper\, The NAHAM Experience\, and BlackAFInSTEM for a community-centered nature experience in honor of Black Birders Week – creating space for connection\, mindfulness\, and education through birdwatching in Jacksonville. \nGuided Mindfulness Meditation + Bird Sound Experience | Wednesday\, May 27 at 6 p.m. | Ribault Scenic Drive Park\nFocus on the natural sounds of birds as The NAHAM Experience guides you through an outdoor meditation. Breathe and ground yourself in nature to lighten your mental load. We will reflect together after the meditation. \nBirdwatching Trail Walk | Saturday May 30 at 10 a.m. | Riverview Park\nJoin us for a guided walk along the trails in Riverview Park\, on the Trout River. We will point out and identify local bird species\, and teach beginners how to best observe birds in their natural habitat. \nBring your own binoculars\, if you have them. \nRSVP: This is a free event\, but let us know you plan to join us here!

SUMMARY:Paddle the Ocklawaha
DESCRIPTION:Paddle the Ocklawaha with Adventure Outpost | Friday\, May 29 or Saturday\, June 13 | 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. | Ocklawaha River (Palatka)\nJoin us for a 3.5 hour paddling tour of the Ocklawaha River with expert guide Lars Andersen! We will begin just downstream from the Kirkpatrick (formerly Rodman) Dam. This section of the Ocklawaha below the dam is wide and braided. There are numerous side streams and winding forks that make this an interesting area to explore. \nThe wide\, open channel of the Ocklawaha River offers an excellent panorama of river forests and swamps that\, in places\, stretch a half-mile back from the main channel\, and are a refuge for a wonderful menagerie of wildlife with very little sign of civilization. As history buffs dream of Acuera warriors and the steamboats which once plied these waters\, birders and animal lovers will be busy with their binoculars and cameras. In addition to its scenic beauty\, this stretch of the Ocklawaha also serves as an excellent “living museum” of man’s 15\,000 year relationship with nature in Florida. \nA couple of hours into our downstream paddle\, we will stop for lunch at the site of the former river settlement/steamboat landing of Davenport. Also on this site is Davenport Mound\, an ancient Indian burial site first excavated in the 1800’s. \nPrice\nTour & Kayak Rental: $65 \nBring Your Own Kayak/Board: $50 \nRegister\nTo register to join us\, please call Adventure Outpost at (386) 497-4214. Mention the date (May 29\, or June 13) and St. Johns Riverkeeper and have your payment information ready to secure your reservation.
