Burtons Island Trail is located just north of the Indian River Inlet Bridge and is tucked away, beyond the Center for the Inland Bays, Hammerheads Dockside, and the marina. It is a short 1.5 mile walk, however the trail is a mix of raised walkways, very soft sand (like walking on the beach), packed earth, and crushed gravel and rocks. A great spot for birding and observing wildlife, there are also beautiful bay views. Parking is very limited, so carpooling is strongly encouraged.

We will depart from the Welcome Center promptly at 9:30AM, carpooling is encouraged if you are returning directly to Bayside.
Delaware State Park fees are now in effect – $5 for In-State Vehicles, $10 for Out-of-State Vehicles

Old stuff, unique treasures, family heirlooms… is it valuable or is it not? Dave Allen, owner of A&M Auctioneers and Appraisers, Auctioneer, GPPA & CAGA Certified Appraiser, welcomes us to the fascinating world of appraisals! To start, Dave will share with us how appraisals work and the different types of appraisals. After a brief Q&A, he will then spend about an hour verbally approximating the value of items brought in from our very own community!

Although attendance to the seminar is free, if you would like to participate in the unofficial appraisal portion, there is a $10 fee per item that will be charged directly to your membership account, should your item be chosen for appraisal (limit of 10 items). Please email Jennifer Greenawalt at [email protected] with photos of each item that you would like to submit for possible appraisal with a description or any information you have regarding the item. (Please note: your item(s) may or may not be chosen for appraisal. Dave Allen will choose 10 of the submitted items to appraise during the seminar.) You MUST be able to bring your item with you to class for the appraisal. Email submissions accepted until Friday, April 12th.

We all know we are supposed to recycle, but are we doing it properly to maximize our efforts? Are we avoiding the chance of contaminating a whole batch of recycling with one tied bag of recycling, or just one pizza box? Stacey Helmer from Delaware Solid Waste Authority is thrilled to cover the ins and outs of recycling. She will cover what actually is recyclable, how to get rid of special waste items including household hazardous waste, electronics, secure document shredding, Styrofoam, and plastic bags, and she will talk about where recycling goes in Delaware once it leaves Bayside!

Although this class is offered free of charge, preregistration is required.

Heroes & Villains of 1812. Join David Healey for an overview of the War of 1812 in the Chesapeake Bay region, with a special focus on the personalities of the conflict, including Kitty Knight, Captain Sir Peter Parker, Joshua Barney, John O’Neill, Admiral Cockburn, and Mary Pickersgill (who sewed the Star-Spangled Banner flag in a Baltimore brewery). Their stories and personalities resonate today, and they were very much heroes—or villains—to local residents more than 200 years ago.

Please register to reserve your spot in this class.

How often do you take the time to take a few moments out of your day to stop and sit still and observe being in the moment?  To simply observe what it is like being YOU?  In today’s busy lifestyle most of us are either running from one activity to the next, checking our phones, thinking about what we did yesterday or what we have to do tomorrow. We are never truly fully living life for what it is, as we let each moment pass us by unnoticed. Mindfulness meditation is a practice that allows one to begin to get in touch with themselves in the present moment.  It is proven to reduces stress, anxiety and to allow people to live fuller lives.

Meditation from 9:00AM to 9:30AM
Coffee, tea, and juice of the day from 9:30AM to 10:30AM

Insight from dynamic and empathetic speaker, Elizabeth Sanchez, will empower you to begin a path towards balanced emotional and physical wellness. Learn about the seven chakras and what a healthy balance means. She will shed light on the following aspects we all are familiar with:
