Schedule:
10:15 AM - 11:45 AM - Bird Walk at Jackson Flat Reservoir 2024
Beginning and experienced birders are welcome at this event where at the 2023 Amazing Earthfest Bird Walk we saw over 25 species! For the event we’ll amble along a walking and cycling path around the reservoir for approximately 1.5 hours, covering about 2 miles. The paved path has a few slopes, and is stroller, wheelchair, and bike accessible. Please do not bring dogs because they will spook the birds! Bring binoculars if you have them.
Location: Jackson Flat Reservoir.
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM - Poetry at the Nomad Cafe
The Nomad Cafe offers an intimate location for both budding and experienced poets to express thoughts and feelings for southern Utah’s majestic land and scenery, and the natural beauty of the Earth. This Mother's Day, poets will gather to share their original works celebrating Mother Earth. Bring a poem that inspires you, or one of your own poems or short prose to share, or even create one in the moment! Several members of the Willow Wind Poets, a local chapter of the Utah State Poetry Society will be present.
Location: The Nomad Cafe & Retro RV Resort. 2150 US-89, Kanab.
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM - National Parks and Native Voices: The Past and Now
All national park lands are Indigenous lands. Who are the 11 modern Tribes associated with Grand Canyon National Park today? What is the National Park Service doing to honor and include native voices and concerns? Join Park Ranger Doug Crispin for an insider’s look at the recent place name changes, native relations, and history in the National Parks.
Location: Kanab City Library, Multipurpose Room. 374 N Main St, Kanab, UT 84741
4:30 PM - 6:00 PM - Learn How to Make a Portable Stove
At this event we will craft a portable cob camp-type stove at Clucking It Up Farmstead, in Orderville, Utah. Anyone interested in creating one during the demonstration will need to bring with them a 12 quart (or larger) galvanized bucket and a 3 foot length of re-bar or other similar rod or pipe. We will be mixing cob (clay, sand and straw) to use as the insulator in our stoves. After mixing the cob, we will move on to shaping and forming the interiors of our stove. Then we’ll share how to fire and use the stoves.
Location: Clucking it Up Farmstead, 230 N 100 W, Orderville, UT, 84758.
