SUMMARY:Hawk Watch
DESCRIPTION:All throughout September\, guests are invited to join Grandfather Mountain’s naturalists as they count and celebrate the annual spectacle of fall raptor migration. Participants can observe the migration from viewing locations on Linville Peak (across the Mile High Swinging Bridge) and Half Moon Overlook (the first major overlook when entering the park). Included with admission. \nRaptors are birds of prey\, such as hawks\, eagles\, owls and vultures. The telltale signs of the raptor are sharp talons\, a hooked upper bill and keen eyesight. While some raptors remain in place during winter\, most will travel south\, where food is more abundant. Because it sits along the eastern escarpment of the Appalachian Mountains\, and its rocky peaks generate strong thermal uplifts and allow excellent visibility\, Grandfather Mountain is a prime viewing spot for this phenomenon. \nPerhaps the most dramatic visual display comes courtesy of the broad-winged hawk\, which migrates in groups of hundreds or thousands\, called kettles. Those sightings are most common around the second or third week of September. Grandfather Mountain is one of more than 300 Hawk Watch sites officially designated by the Hawk Migration Association of North America. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Women's Beginner Backpack
DESCRIPTION:Disconnect from the business of daily life and settle into the presence\, peace and quiet of nature on a weekend trip that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and inspired. You will learn all you need to know – from water filtration to what not to wipe with- and be provided with all necessary gear to safely\, successfully\, and joyfully backpack. \nEach day will involve a 3-5 mile hike\, allowing plenty of time for breaks\, learning\, and leisurely time at camp to take in our natural environment. Gear and food are included – and don’t worry\, this is not your average trail food of peanut butter on tortillas and chicken-flavored ramen. Your guide\, Becca\, has been complimented on her trail kitchen skills\, and you will leave this weekend asking for recipes. Our max group size is 6. \nBecca is passionate about teaching women to embrace the outdoors and learn skills to empower them in a backcountry setting. She is trained as a Forest Therapy Guide\, an amateur naturalist\, and a friction fire builder. You can read more about her here. If you have questions about this trip\, you can email her at becca@thespeckledtrout.com. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Jeremy Wade at Grandfather Mountain
DESCRIPTION:As a child in England\, Jeremy Wade was obsessed with fishing. However\, as he grew up\, the rivers seemed more crowded with fishermen and the catches less mythical\, and Wade’s dream faded. A chance discovery in his 20s of a magazine article about a fish in India\, the mahseer\, a giant golden-scaled carp that lives in thunderous rocky rivers\, rekindled his passion. He dusted down his fishing rods and set off with £200 in his pocket to follow his dreams. Decades later\, the rest\, as they say\, is history. \nWade was the presenter of the worldwide hit television series\, “River Monsters.” His book of the same name (Orion\, 2012) delivers a sometimes jaw-dropping blend of adventure\, natural history\, legend and detective work. It reads like a hunt for the Loch Ness Monster\, but it’s all true! His book “How to Think Like a Fish” (W&N\, 2019) teaches the reader how to improve their own fishing skills. Sparse on the details of technique\, it is about the simple\, fundamental principles – a mindset for success. It’s part science\, part art and part elusive something else. \nCopies of Wade’s books\, “River Monsters” and “How to Think Like a Fish\,” will be on sale at Grandfather Mountain’s Wilson Center gift shop prior to the event and on June 27 during Grandfather Presents\, as supplies last. A summer reading list for the speaker series is coming soon! \nWebsite
