Join the birding walk as the first activity of the day at 7am. How about some photography tips after that to catch that perfect shot of one of the park\u2019s resident animals? Also on offer is a meditation session and forest bathing, yoga, and even a history walk detailing the park\u2019s original inhabitants. Tack on fairy house building, a nature hike specifying trees, invasive species and pollinator gardens and additional hands- on activities for families and you have a fun-filled day utilizing the park\u2019s natural beauty.<\/p>\n<p>Please visit the FOBP webpage for more information and full schedule as it unfolds: www.friendsofbrightwoodpark.org<\/p>\n<p>Some events require preregistration.<\/p>\n<p><em>Details on the Westfield Recreation Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.rec1.com\/NJ\/westfield-nj\/catalog\">https:\/\/secure.rec1.com\/NJ\/westfield-nj\/catalog<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Set For May 6 It\u2019s a nature preserve.
