To daylight a creek or stream is to open it back up--to unbury what was once buried, and make it visible again.

You are invited to join Philadelphia artists and writers for a night of readings, exhibits, and performances that make our city's climate realities visible and envision better climate futures. Sponsored by the Discovery Center, Audubon Mid-Atlantic, Blue Stoop, and Buried Creek Collective, a new initiative to educate writers about our changing environment and foster creative climate resilience.

Please join us for food and hot beverages as we toast to the conclusion of Buried Creek Collective's inaugural Climate Change for Writers Program.

Journey into the starry night on Saturday, December 5 with Damien Ruffner, Program Manager for The Discovery Center, and discover the same stars that guide migratory birds on their journeys. Damien will present presents Stargazing 101, a crash course in basic astronomy covering what to look for and what gear you'll need for a night of stargazing. 

After this short presentation, we'll pull out the telescopes, spot scopes, binoculars, and sky maps to explore the night sky. See how migrating birds read starlight to navigate their way across the night, then look for the same points of light guiding them overhead. Keep an eye out for other fascinating nighttime sights too, and maybe even a meteor streaking by!

Feel free to bring your own equipment. And maybe a cozy blanket to lay on — or wrap up in — while you take in the night sky. All ages are welcome. Please dress for the weather.

Insects are fundamental for birds like swallows, woodpeckers, swifts, warblers, etc. Join Liberty Bird Alliance and Audubon Mid-Atlantic on December 15th to learn how some insects start from the water, and how maintaining their habitat also maintains our beloved groups of birds. The leader of this session is Bria W: Senior Coordinator of Audubon Mid-Atlantic, stationed at the Discovery Center. She brings years of aquatic knowledge, with a focus on macro invertebrates.
