Bird Programs Earth Touch was started in 1991 by Lea Nading, HTR.

It was a new program started with the Winston-Salem Recreation & Parks Dept. The mission was and is to make horticultural and nature programs accessible to special populations (low income, mentally, physically, and emotionally challenged, youth at risk, seniors, hospital and nursing home patients). We also help motivate people to be all they can be using plant and nature activities. Examples of ac

tivities are: nature crafts, gardening, plant giveaways, insect encounters and nature walks. When the city discontinued the program in 2011 Lea retired but has continued as a mobile program going to sites served and working out of her residence. Some of the sites being served at this time are Crystal, Sunrise and Healy Towers, Piedmont Park, Cleveland Ave Homes, Eastgate Apts.,Bethesda Center for the Homeless, City With Dwellings and Daymark Friendship Center.

🌠 LOOK UP – The Perseids Are Here! 🌠

Every August, Earth drifts through the dusty trail of Comet Swift–Tuttle — igniting the skies with one of the year’s most spectacular shows. This year, on August 12–13, the Perseid Meteor Shower will light up the heavens with up to 100 meteors per hour, many bursting in gold, emerald, and sapphire streaks. ✨

From the snowy peaks to the still waters below, nature becomes a mirror for the cosmos — reflecting each falling star as if the universe itself is whispering a wish.

📌 Viewing Tips:
• Find the darkest spot away from city lights
• Look northeast after midnight
• Let your eyes adjust for at least 20 minutes
• No telescope needed — just you, the night, and the stars

This is your front-row seat to a celestial masterpiece. Don’t just look — be part of it.

HISTORY

Earth Touch was started in 1991 by Lea Nading, HTR, a Registered Horticultural Therapist, as a new program with the Winston-Salem Rec and Parks Dept. The mission was to make horticulture and nature programs accessible to Special Population groups (low income, mentally, physically and emotionally challenged, youth at risk, seniors , hospital and nursing homes patients). Also to help people be more aware of the natural world through nature classes, crafts, gardening, plant giveaways, live insect encounters,etc.

When the city discontinued the program in 2011 Lea retired but continued to do the program herself. The name was changed at the city’s request and it became Lea’s Earth Touch Of NC. Some of the sites still being served at the present time are Crystal Towers, Sunrise Towers, Healy Towers, Piedmont Park, Cleveland Ave Homes, Holland Homes, Eastgate Apts., Bethesda Center, City With Dwellings,WS Rehab, Amos Cottage, Cardinal innovations and Daymark. We always welcome volunteers and donations to keep the program going. If you are interested in having a class at your site, being a volunteer, donating supplies or monetarily please call Lea or email her.
