About the event

Join us for a guided paddle around our pond in one of our canoes. We will start with a quick lesson on basic canoeing and paddling, then we will paddle together up a creek. The last 45-60 minutes will be free-paddling on the pond. If you have a valid fishing license and your own equipment, you can use this time to fish in our pond. Canoes, paddles, and life jackets are provided (no outside boats are permitted). This program is dependent on suitable weather conditions and water levels. For ages 10 and up (with an accompanying adult); FREE. Each canoe can hold a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 4 people (800-pound total weight limit). Registration is PER BOAT. If you only need 1 boat, please register just 1 member of your group. Please call if you have questions.

(Rescheduled) Moth Week Celebration at Sandy Pines Preserve

Due to a weather cancellation on July 24th, we've decided that every week is Moth Week at Sandy Pines Preserve. Join us at Sandy Pines on Saturday, August 1st from 8:00 pm—11:00 pm to take part in the fun! We will use a common method of surveying moths called light sheeting, which involves setting up a sheet in a natural area and shining a bright light on it to attract moths and other nocturnal insects. We'll monitor the sheet throughout the night and identify anything that lands. We'll meet in the Sandy Pines parking lot at 8:00 pm (7201 Doc Procter Rd, Wendell, NC 27591) and work adjacent to the parking lot and artificial wetland. What to bring: Light (headlamp or flashlight preferable), close-toed shoes, chair, snack, water, dark clothing What not to bring: Pets, bug spray (it's harmful to the insects we'll be working with) Final decisions regarding weather will be made by 2:30 pm on August 1st. Please reach out to Ashley Gagnon with any questions or accessibility considerations (ashley.gagnon@wake.gov, 919-208-8259). See you there! Schedule: Aug 1, 2026 Saturday from 8pm to 11pm Duration: 3 hours Ages: Age less than 200 yrs,
