There was some lovely fog around this morning. Fog is a common sight around creeks and streams because the water increases the humidity in the air and it tends to be thicker in lower places since the heavy air flows downward. . . . . . . . . #fogfacts #weather #creekweek #foggymorning #science #guilfordcounty

Its 2020, Guilford Creek Week is coming and we are so excited! If you want to come to one of our events, stay tuned we will start posting them in the next few weeks. If you would like to lead or host an event, an educational display, or a cleanup please message us!

Did you come to one of our rain barrel workshops last year? This is one of our workshop barrels but it just can't take any more rain today! Did you know that you can actually build a diy rain barrel system and connect another barrel? If you want to learn more stay tuned for this year's upcoming workshops! (P.s. the builder of this one really wishes she had a second barrel 😣) . . . . . . . #rainbarrel #guilfordcreekweek #deluge #icantchangethelawsofphysicscaptain #diy #diygardening #waterconservation

Balloon releases are sky litter. Remember that many actions have consequences even if you don't see them personally. Instead of balloon releases consider donations in a loved ones name, or even writing messages on native leaves and releasing then into wind or local water. Unfortunately we can't retrieve these balloons without a boat so they will have to wait for another day. #balloonsblowdontletthemgo #balloon #balloonsblow #loveyourH2o

Look closely at the little white specks. People sometimes wonder why there are seagulls in their inland lakes. Well they are really just Gulls and not all Gulls live near the sea. Also many like to come inland for the winter because there is more to eat (landfills are like a buffet) and they don't particular like the cold windy winter storms that blow in from the sea.

A cold crisp day on the lake may sound like a nightmare to some, but those conditions are a perfect time to try to spot migratory waterfowl that have come here to overwinter! There is a ton of bird life this time of year!
