Join us as we focus on removing invasive and exotic plants that threaten native wildflowers and wildlife habitats. \nOur Main Target: Euonymus fortunei\, also known as Winter Creeper. This commonly used ground cover has been overtaking the Valley\, encroaching on both our Meadow Restoration Project and the surrounding Blue Hole #3. Throughout the week\, we’ll work together to protect and enhance these vital habitats by removing Winter Creeper. \nCheck out the calendar above or the schedule below for a full list of activities throughout the week![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”8105″ img_size=”” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Why It Matters” tab_id=”1741300003690-6dfd1e6d-f20b”][vc_column_text css=””]Removing invasive plants like Winter Creeper is essential for restoring the balance of our local ecosystems. These aggressive plants crowd out native species\, competing for vital resources like sunlight\, water\, and nutrients\, which leads to a loss in biodiversity. By clearing out invasive species\, we’re giving native plants the space they need to thrive\, creating a healthier environment for local wildlife. This work also boosts the overall health of the ecosystem – improving soil quality\, supporting pollinators\, and preserving the natural beauty and function of the landscape for years to come.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Who Can Join the Fun” tab_id=”1596647812985-1634d36d-75db”][vc_column_text]Everyone aged 10 and up can volunteer!

SUMMARY:Snap & Share: A Citizen Science Field Workshop
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1580237738994{padding-left: 0px !important;}”]Homeschool Day[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nReady to turn your nature photos into real scientific data? Join us for a hands-on citizen science experience focused on nature photography and wildlife documentation using iNaturalist. \nWe’ll kick things off indoors with a quick\, beginner-friendly session on how to photograph birds\, insects\, and other wildlife\, plus how to log and share your observations so they can contribute to real research. \nThen we’ll head outside for a guided walk through the park to put your new skills into action. It’s an especially exciting time to be out\, as spring warbler migration is underway\, meaning there’s a great chance to spot a variety of birds moving through the area. \nThis FREE program is perfect for beginners\, curious nature lovers\, and anyone interested in photography or contributing to citizen science. Led by volunteer naturalist Rickey Shive and LRC’s own Adam Miles\, you’ll leave with new skills\, fresh air\, and maybe even a few great shots. This program also kicks off our participation in the City Nature Challenge\, a worldwide community effort to document as much local biodiversity as possible. \n[/vc_column_text]Register Here![vc_empty_space][vc_separator]Earth Week Events \nThe Earth Week celebration continues all week long!
