SUMMARY:Prep for Tree Planting @ Mill Pond Natural Area - Invasive Species Removal Work Session
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER.\nPLEASE JOIN US NEXT THURSDAY (APRIL 18th) FOR OUR NEXT WORK SESSION.\n\nHelp us clear space for planting native trees! We’ve ordered 450 native trees and shrubs to plant this spring but we need to clear more space before we plant.\n\n\nJoin us on Thursday April 11th at 5:00pm for a weekday invasive species removal work session at Mill Pond Natural Area. Removing these invasive species will both provide more room for us to plant and improve their chances of success by removing competition.\nNo experience is necessary to participate. We’ll provide tools and training.\nPlease be advised that access to this property may be challenging for some because of terrain and the many dead and downed trees blocking routes in.\nParking for this event is at the east end of Chipp-A-Waters Park (1403 W. High St.\, Mt. Pleasant). The Natural Area is adjacent to the park.\nShareEmailTwitterFacebookRedditTumblrPinterestLinkedIn

SUMMARY:Spring Migration Watch @ Hall's Lake Natural Area
DESCRIPTION:Join us in witnessing the spring migration as vernal pool obligate species return to their ancestral breeding grounds on the first warm\, rainy evenings of the season. These amphibians show immense site fidelity\, most returning to the same pools they were born in.\n\nWe expect to see Spotted Salamanders and Wood Frogs at this site. Blue-spotted Salamanders have not been observed here yet but are a possibility. Northern Leopard Frog\, Green Frog\, Northern Spring Peeper\, and Eastern American Toad are other amphibian species at this property that may be active. There is always a risk of not seeing our target species\, but we believe time in nature is never wasted!\n\nThis event is weather-dependent and subject to change.\n\nPlease bring a flashlight or headlamp. Rubber boots are recommended. Please disinfect with a 3% bleach solution prior to coming out. Disinfection will be also provided on-site.\n\n**Please be aware on the drive to the preserve that amphibians are on the move everywhere and often are traveling across roads to reach their wetlands. Be mindful on the roads that we do not increase mortalities as we observe these animals.**\n\nDirections to the preserve: http://bit.ly/Halls-Lake-Natural-Area\n\n\nShareEmailTwitterFacebookRedditTumblrPinterestLinkedIn

SUMMARY:February Full Moon Hike
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, February 23rd at 7:00PM for a hike under the (almost) full moon at our Sylvan Solace Preserve.\n\n\nWe know the moon won’t be full until the 24th but by hiking on the 23rd the moon will already be at 13 degrees above the horizon at 7PM versus only 3 degrees above the horizon at the same time on the 24th. Besides\, we don’t think most of us will notice the difference between a moon at 99.8% illumination (on the 24th) and one at only 98.3% illumination (on the 23rd)…\n\n\nThis social hike is for everyone! We’ll hike along an approximately 1.2 mile loop on the flat trails at Sylvan Solace with several stops along the way.\nDirections to the preserve: http://bit.ly/SylvanSolacePreserve\nShareEmailTwitterFacebookRedditTumblrPinterestLinkedIn
