Classes, Workshops and Events
Join us Sunday, September 22, for our fall in-person gathering. We will gather informally starting at 2:30 PM in the cafeteria of the National Wildlife Federation Building, 11100 Wildlife Center Drive, in Reston. We welcome you to bring snacks and drinks to share. All are welcome!
In this class, students will paint a majestic Great Blue Heron, learning how to mix neutral colors, as well as techniques of layering colors to create various feather patterns.
Over 100 million birds migrate through northern Virginia each spring, and 160 million migrate through each fall. Their journeys are perilous because they can be attracted to and disoriented by brightly lit buildings and crash into them or waste precious energy flying around the lights.
Immerse yourself in the natural wonders of South Africa, home to amazing scenery, iconic African wildlife, and more than 800 bird species.
