There are only two more days until registration for Swanfall 2018, the Friends of Mason Neck State Park's annual holiday party, is opened to non-members! Take advantage of your membership benefits now, by registering today so you don't risk being closed out.
Meet us at 2 PM on December 2, 2018 at the Jammes House in Mason Neck State Park. The Jammes House is a former hunting lodge in Mason Neck State Park, located on the banks of Occoquan Bay. It will be decorated for the holidays, and has stunning views over the Bay and the Potomac River. The Jammes House is not normally open to visitors, so take advantage of this opportunity to see the house and experience its magnificent setting. We'll have lots of tasty treats for you to sample at a light buffet.
After you enjoy the buffet, take a fascinating look into the lives of birds as you watch Ashley Kennedy's stunning videos of birds bringing food to their young in her program "What Birds Eat." Ashley is a PhD candidate at the University of Delaware's Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology. Ashley's research focuses on determining which insects are the most important in birds' diets. Learn what you can do in your own backyard to attract the insects that are vital to a healthy bird population.
Members of the Friends of Mason Neck State Park can register for this event. Each member can bring one guest. You can register for this event at Swanfall 2018. The cost of the program is $10 per person and includes admission to the Park.
Please register soon, during this members-only registration period. This event always fills up, and we'll invite non-members to register for Swanfall 2018 on November 13.
