The Audubon Society of Forsyth County is preparing to hold its annual spring bird count and at the same time take part in the national Audubon Birdathon fund-raiser. Next Saturday, participants will go to several sites in Forsyth County, including Reynolda Gardens, Salem Lake and Bethabara Park, and count bird species. They will collect pledge donations from sponsors. Half of the money raised will be used for North Carolina's Coastal Audubon Sanctuaries and half will go to the national society's work.
Novices are welcome.
Binoculars are helpful but not necessary. To make a pledge, call Jim Martin at 777-1677. The One Way Spring Show and Sale, offering garden and gift items by artists from around the Southeast, as well as architectural antiques, will be held next weekend. It will feature such creations as garden sculptures, decoys, pottery and forged iron. 8 p.m. Friday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. next Saturday and May 6.
