thanks so much, Guy! I would love to participate, but am having trouble
finding time between the tree delivery on Friday, the planting on
Saturday.
On that note, could you please post the following on our calendar, if you
haven't already?
1) Aho road wildflower planting -- 1pm, Sunday June 19th
2) June monthly meeting -- birdwalk at Trout Lake at 6:30pm
3) VCCP final knotweed pulling - 3-5pm Thursday, June 23rd
4) Brookshire tree planting - 10 pm, Saturday, June 25th - meet at Blue
Ridge Energy at 10am.
Thanks so much!

I like Paul's idea about doing something in a priority block too.
Brookshire area is not inside a priority block though.
Anyway, it sounds like there are no objections to posting this on our
group email and facebook page etc. So Adrianna and I will work on coming
up with a plan for Atlas-centered walk. Adrianna has said she will co-lead
the walk and hopefully will tell people about her experience as a tech
working for the Atlas.
If people would like to come to this and can't go on Saturday because of
the Brookshire thing, we can have this on Friday or Sunday. Is there anyone
on the board who would definitely attend the atlas walk, but can't go on
Saturday?
Thanks, Guy

I think Paul has the right idea- but also the Town is scheduling a
planting day out at the wetlands opposite Brookshire so we can spend the
rest of our Burke’s grant money and they want to do that on the 25th- so
maybe we could start there and then go do our walk

Hi all,
The NC Bird Atlas is having a "Big Atlas Weekend" on the 24th to 26th of
this month, and Adrianna has suggested (see below), that HCAS sponsor an
event to support it. I imagine this would mean planning a walk and
advertising for it on our various media platforms.
1. I wonder whether anyone has any ideas on how to make something like
this work?
2. Do all agree that this is something the chapter should get into?
Thanks, Guy

Hey Guy,
So I just got some more information from some of the Atlas staff about
Big Atlas Weekend plans. I would love to do something with HCAS. Here is a
rough outline of the weekend schedule as well as what the Transylvania Co
Bird Club will probably do:
Wednesday, 6/22 = encourage club members to attend virtual BAW kick-off
event
Thursday, 6/23 = encourage folks to attend Scott’s NC Bird Atlas 101
virtual event
Friday, 6/24 @ 6 p.m. BAW officially kicks off
Saturday, 6/25 = Meet local club members to answer follow-up questions,
make sure everyone is linked to the NCBA portal in eBird, and lead a local
birding walk (ideally in a priority block)
Sunday, 6/26 @ 12 p.m. BAW officially ends
Wednesday, 6/29 = virtual BAW awards night
Here is the link announcing the event (with additional embedded links)
that HCAS can post on their social media accounts
https://ebird.org/atlasnc/news/save-the-date-2022-big-atlas-weekend-june-24-26.
The link to Scott's 101 event is not available yet.
I'm happy to send out this info to HCAS (except I don't have access to
any HCAS social media). Would you be interested in co-planning/co-leading a
bird walk on Sat, 6/25?
Let me know what you think!
Adrianna
