If you are near Brooksville in Hernando County, here are two great outdoor events that are coming up this weekend at the Chinsegut Nature Center. 

On Friday night, Feb. 27, it's Nature and Folk Song Night! This is a great event for the whole family to sit around the campfire, sing and swap stories in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Make sure to bring along your chairs and a flashlight. Also, if you play an instrument or  sing, this is a great place to show off those skills! The get-together starts at 7 p.m. and lasts until about 9 p.m.

The next morning, there is a Junior Birding Workshop starting at 10 a.m. until noon. Join the staff of the Chinsegut Nature Center on a bird walk, for some games and for a slideshow. I've attended workshops like this one, and it's a great way to introduce young people to the outdoors and get them excited about nature.  It's for ages 16 and under, and those under the age of seven need to be accompanied by an adult. 

Come on out to the Chinsegut Nature Center this weekend and enjoy some of Florida's great outdoors!
