Coronavirus Concerns

Always follow the Health Department guidelines


First, spending time in nature can serve as a form of 
social distancing, the strategy epidemiologists are recommending to limit spread of the virus. Of course, social distancing doesn’t work without the distance part, so this only counts for open spaces that you can reach while avoiding close contact with others
. For these reasons, don’t go with a group of friends.  And remember that those aged 60 and up or with chronic ailments may be at greater risk of serious illness. If that sounds like you, or if you live in an area with an outbreak, please be extra cautious and keep an eye on what your local health department advises. 

There’s a growing body of scientific evidence indicating that contact with nature can ease anxiety and provide an all-around mood boost. With rising fears and palpable tension in the air, we can all benefit from this calming influence. 

We will have as many of these activities as we can safely organize.  If in doubt, call one of the board members to see if the activity has been canceled.  Stay Healthy!

Bird banding activities are at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History’s Jones Preserve located at the end of Monaghan Road.  The banding station is at the gate to the preserve.  This is a restricted preserve, so visitors must stay with a banding staff member at all times.  Parking is available about 100 yards before the gate.  It may be too tight to turn around at the gate, so please park here and walk to the station.  No pets around the nets, please.
