SUMMARY:Birding JK Black Oak
DESCRIPTION:Join Michael Sciortino and Bryan Henson to look for birds at JK Black Oak Wildlife Sanctuary\, which was purchased by Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy in 2020. This bird walk will take us through the forest\, across the meadows and past several of the vernal pools (which will be dry this time of year) that make this such a unique place. Over 140 species of birds have been documented\, and there is always a chance of discovering more during fall migration. Parking and meeting location will be emailed to registered participants. Limit 20. Registration required. \nAfter the walk\, stick around for the Open House to learn more about the property. \nQuestions: Contact Allison Gallo at agallo@loudounwildlife.org or Sheryl Weitzel at sweitzel@loudounwildlife.org. \nWhen registration is full\, do not attempt to register. You can be added to the waitlist by emailing info@loudounwildlife.org. Please include the event name and date in your email. You’ll be notified if space becomes available.\nRegistration

SUMMARY:JK Black Oak Wildlife Sanctuary Open House
DESCRIPTION:Please Note: Pets are not allowed at the Sanctuary. \nExperience the beauty of JK Black Oak firsthand and learn more about the vernal pools\, restoration projects and ongoing community science projects.  During this open house\, the sanctuary is open to the public with no registration required. \nStop by the Loudoun Wildlife booth to learn about our programs and our advocacy efforts to protect JK Black Oak from the Rt. 15 Lucketts bypass. \nFor the first time ever\, several of the trails will be open for self-guided tours with information signs along the way and roving volunteers to answer questions.  We will also have three information stations staffed with volunteers where you can learn about: \n\nAmphibians and reptiles – Which species have been found and why amphibians require vernal pools.\nBat monitoring – Acoustic monitoring has documented nine species of bats.\nForest restoration – We are using deer exclosure fences to protect tree seedlings.\n\nParking will be in the field at the corner of Stumptown and New Valley Church Roads in Lucketts\, and a volunteer will direct you to the entrance of the sanctuary. \nAlthough you will be walking on mowed trails\, ticks may still be present and insect repellant is recommended. \nIn conjunction with the open house\, there are two guided walks that require registration: a bird walk at 8:00am and a nature walk at 11:00am. (Registration is full for both walks.) \nQuestions: Contact Allison Gallo at agallo@loudounwildlife.org or Sheryl Weitzel at sweitzel@loudounwildlife.org.
