The Land at Hawkins Loop

The Land at Hawkins Loop 63 acres of fresh air for your easy-going events, creative retreats, and overnight stays in Hurdle Mills, North Carolina

The Land at Hawkins Loop is an enrichment and event center located in Hurdle Mills, North Carolinaโ€”a short, scenic drive from Durham, Hillsborough, and Roxboro. Chapel Hill, Raleigh, RDU International Airport, Greensboro, South Boston (VA), and Danville (VA) are within an hour by car. Brendan and Kat Love salvaged two adjoining century-old farmsteads to create the destination, converting houses, b

arns, and outbuildings into modern homes and meeting spaces. Local and visiting experts provide programming that makes nature, creativity, relaxation, and hands-on learning more accessible, particularly for young people in rural Person County, NC. The Land at Hawkins Loop strives to be a safe, inclusive, welcoming environment for all. Contact us about previews and partnerships.

August 23 marks a special Hawkins Loop birthday AND the anniversary event for our friends, collaborators, and accessible nature mentors Field Inclusive! ๐ŸŽ‰ Join us to celebrate and learn together, from anywhere, in this virtual session with Dr. Carolyn Finney - a remarkable voice for these times of upheaval and opportunity.

In 2022, Dr. Finney invited others into a practice of writing love notes to nature as a gateway to building connection. She wrote, โ€œWhat would they say, I ask, to a place they love โ€” a place on this Earth, no matter how big or small, that has served them, held them, taught them about who they are?

My hope with this practice is that we might celebrate how, despite all we do as human beings, the Earth is always here for us, giving us what it can every day. That by sharing our love of Nature, we might call each other into a better relationship with the Earth and with each other, rather than dismissing those whose views differ from our own. That by revealing what it is we love, we honor our common ground and our common humanity.

What would you say in a love letter to a place you love?โ€

๐ŸŒณ Plan your visit for Saturday, June 7! ๐ŸŒณ

Hawkins Loop Bird Fest began in response to a public call for private landowners in rural areas to allow professional wildlife technicians on-site to observe and document bird activity in support of the . We jumped at the chance to have experts teach us about our land, the animals we share it with, and the ways we can all tune into nature and the amazing wonders around us.

Thanks to our friends at and the extensive network of dedicated environmental educators in North Carolina and beyond. Your work matters and we are all better for it!
