Spring Meadow Ecology Walk

Published: May 4, 2025; Aithor: Julia Sonrisa

Learn about how native wildflowers and plants support a rich array of life: soil and other microorganisms, insects, birds, and us! Participants will observe a designed and managed landscape where aesthetics are just one of many components that guide the design and maintenance, and learn how plant and management choices affect habitat. Build skills in making observations in natural spaces.
