Chicorylane Foundation

In 2025, we offered 7 workshops and/or field days dealing with various educational, aesthetic, and research topics pertaining to conservation and ecology. Topics include bird and Native plant walks emphasizing not just identification but also habitats and behavior. We also offered a workshop on writing in and about (a natural) place, and a workshop on dying cloth and yarn using Native plant material dyes. Two open house days provided in-field techniques for assessing water quality for one of our streams and lecture/discussions of the history and architecture of a 200-year old log residence on the property.total attendance was some 200 individuals, and on two different field days, we were pleased to have over 80 species of birds visiting the property. Additional details can be seen at Chicorylane.com/events. We also received approval from local government of our request for conditional use permitting for both indoor and outdoor recreational activities.
