Earth and Sky March 26, 2011

If the Earth were a globe, our entire atmosphere would be no thicker than the enamel that covers it. We are all creatures of that ocean of air, tucked snugly between Earth and Sky. Come learn about our "ocean", the weather patterns that affect us all and the soils that sustain us. We'll learn how to predict and understand the weather by observing clouds and wind. We may even learn a few secrets of the twinkling night sky. Pre-registration is highly recommended for all weekend programs. Please register by the Wednesday prior to the weekend. To register, call (919) 489-0900. Make sure to check on this web page before coming on the day of the program in case of class updates or cancellations. Updates will be posted alongside the course descriptions for each course. Drop-ins are also welcome if the program is not already full. Directions: All weekend programs take place at Leigh Farm Park in Durham except for the Owl Prowls, which take place at Mason Farm Preserve in Chapel Hill.
