SUMMARY:Forterra Nature Discovery: Spring Discoveries
DESCRIPTION:Event Overview: \nDiscover the abundance of plant and wildlife at Morse Wildlife Preserve waking up from its wintry slumber as we explore prairie\, wetland and upland forest trails. Licia Sahagun and Ryan Johnson of Firecraft NW are naturalists and educators that unveil many of the hidden inhabitants found in this beautiful landscape. We’ll listen and attempt to identify the many birds that have recently migrated from California and Mexico. Along the way we’ll look for animal tracks and tune-in to the wild drama that plays out here every day. It’s time to get excited about the new season of Forterra Nature Discovery. Join us. \nAbout Morse Wildlife Preserve \nMorse is over 90 acres of forest\, prairie and wetland landscape that provides habitat for all sorts of plants and animals\, including: black tailed deer\, Roosevelt elk\, bobcat\, thatcher ants and countless migratory birds in the spring. This land-story begins with the owners and private partners recognizing the value of conservation and ultimately working with Forterra to hold and steward the property. Over time\, Forterra developed partnerships with the Bird Alliance and the Morse Force. These community and regional organizations provide the weekly stewardship\, restoration and study particular to this landscape. A gem of a landscape\, Morse Wildlife Preserve is a perfect example of donors\, community and vision of nature and people thriving together.

SUMMARY:Forterra Nature Discovery: Wild Women Walk  - Frost Moon
DESCRIPTION:Notice! We have had a change in venue.  \nDue to fallen trees and possible damage to the boardwalk\, we will not be meeting at Maxine G. Morse Nature Conservancy. Instead\, we will be meeting at Morse Wildlife\, a 90 acre preserve of prairie\, wetland and upland forest. It is about five miles from Maxine G. Morse. \nEvent Overview: \nThis women-only event celebrates the season with a walk through a wintery landscape. Bundle up and get out there to discover that the forest and all its inhabitants are still there. The frost moon or long night moon\, is remarkable and historically marks a time of reflection and renewal. If we find an appropriate location\, we may gather around a fire. Bring warm drinks and some stories to share. \nAbout Licia Sahagun \nShe is a founding member of Firecraft NW and has decades of environmental and sustainable development education and a master’s in environmental and natural resources. We got to see her experience and love for the outdoors recently at Morse Wildlife Preserve as we examined footprints\, listened for birds and speculated on a pile of fresh woodchips and missing tree left by a beaver.

SUMMARY:Forterra Nature Discovery: Nature Journaling
DESCRIPTION:Event Overview: \nNature Journaling is for everyone.  Led by Nora Prindle\, this event offers a creative way to capture the essence of any experience in a way that is uniquely yours. Not only are we using words to capture the heart of things\, we are also using drawing – a kind of imagery shorthand that amplifies what we are witnessing. It’s a new way of experiencing nature with words\, sketches and doodles. No previous art skills are required. Nora will offer tips on drawing\, media and basic supplies. \nAbout Nora Prindle: \nNora is an artist and naturalist with a passion for capturing the beauty of the natural world. She has certificates in Natural Science Illustration from the University of Washington and Nature Journal Education from the Wild Wonder Foundation. As a co-caretaker of Morse Wildlife Preserve\, she finds inspiration in the native wildlife and believes that drawing nature and sharing it with others can foster a deeper appreciation and commitment to protecting the natural world.

SUMMARY:Summer Saturdays: Morse Wildlife Preserve
DESCRIPTION:  \nHow much natural beauty and diversity can you stand? Morse Preserve is a magical place where several habitats – fir forest\, oak savanna\, camas prairie\, marshy streams\, forested wetlands and more – crowd together to form one of the most beautiful and biologically diverse places in western Washington. \n\n\n\nBe among the select people who will be able to visit this preserve in 2024. It’s only open to visitors a handful of days each year! \nWe’ll ramble Morse’s mostly-level trails and boardwalks\, walking perhaps 2 or 3 miles. We’ll enjoy blooming flowers\, look and listen for some of the 100+ birds that call the refuge home\, and learn about the tiny (less than one-third of an inch long!) animal that helps spread the seeds of flowers such as bleeding heart and trillium. We’ll also talk with gratitude about the people who have worked hard to save and maintain the preserve. \n\n\nSummer Saturdays walks are led by Gary Mozel\, a naturalist and professional interpreter.\nAll three Summer Saturdays events will be led by Gary Mozel\, naturalist and professional interpreter.

SUMMARY:Summer Saturdays: Morse Wild Preserve - Sold Out
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe walk at 11 am is Sold Out – Register here for the 2 pm walk >  \nHow much natural beauty and diversity can you stand? Morse Preserve is a magical place where several habitats – fir forest\, oak savanna\, camas prairie\, marshy streams\, forested wetlands and more – crowd together to form one of the most beautiful and biologically diverse places in western Washington. \n\n\n\nBe among the select people who will be able to visit this preserve in 2024. It’s only open to visitors a handful of days each year! \nWe’ll ramble Morse’s mostly-level trails and boardwalks\, walking perhaps 2 or 3 miles. We’ll enjoy blooming flowers\, look and listen for some of the 100+ birds that call the refuge home\, and learn about the tiny (less than one-third of an inch long!) animal that helps spread the seeds of flowers such as bleeding heart and trillium.

SUMMARY:Partner Event: Visit Morse Wildlife Preserve for Second Sundays April-October
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Morse Wildlife Preserve\, nearly 100 acres spanning multiple habitats open to the public every second Sunday of the month from April through October. \nCome enjoy the Oregon white oak savanna\, prairie flowers\, and a mixed lowland forest full of cedar and hemlock. Morse Wildlife Preserve is also a birding hotspot\, with a resident barn owl\, western bluebirds\, and a myriad of other species. \nYou can check them all out at the Morse Hotspot on eBird. \nThe preserve started with a donation of approximately 50 acres from Lloyd and Maxine Morse. A private party purchased another 40-plus acres and then donated that land to the Tahoma Land Conservancy (now Forterra). Forterra owns the property\, while the Tahoma Bird Alliance provides educational programming and support. The Morse Force\, a group of dedicated local volunteers\, provides essential management and maintenance support. \nMore details are at Morse Visitor Information.
