SPREAD YOUR WINGS

As the temps continue to warm, keep your eyes peel

As the temps continue to warm, keep your eyes peeled for green anoles (Anolis carolinensis) around the Preserve! These common lizards are generally arboreal - but they love to bask in any sunny spot - and are active by day, snacking on insects and chasing off rival anoles. They aren't chameleons, but do change colors, and the males flash a bright pink dewlap, or throat flap.

What critters have you spotted in our greenspace?

The meadows are an ever-evolving ecosystem. When walking through ours these days, look out for:
🌱 Spiderwort
🌱 Fringe trees
🌱 Columbine
🐞 Little surprises

Want to learn more? Every Wednesday from 9-11am, join our Meadows Manager Daniel for Midweek Meadows Management, a volunteer opportunity through active learning. Details at https://bhnp.org/events/

This Art of Nature 2024 sneak peek is from "Sympoiesis" by Shana L. Robbins (@interspecieslover). It can be found in the ravine between Rickenbacker Drive and the Woodland Loop Trail.

"Sympoiesis was assembled with painted rocks from Nancy Creek, local flora, moss, fallen tree limbs, and other elements. Through a range of mediums and techniques including performance art, earthworks, and paintings, Shana strives to spark moments of awe, reflection, and inspiration, nurturing an enfleshed sense of kinship and co-creativity with the more-than-human world."

The 10th Annual Art of Nature was curated by our 2024 Artist-in-Residence Dorothy O'Connor (@dorothy.oconnor.9), and can be enjoyed through June 9th. Learn more at https://bhnp.org/arts/art-of-nature/.

This Art of Nature 2024 sneak peek is from "Ant Trail Crosswalk" by Alison Hamil (@alisonhamilart). It can be found on the pavement, connecting the Rickenbacker Drive side of the Woodland Loop to its continuation across Nancy Creek.

"Because ants are social insects that live in complex, organized societies, they show us how our power is greater when we work together, and how each individual has a job to do and is an important part of the whole."

The 10th Annual Art of Nature was curated by our 2024 Artist-in-Residence Dorothy O'Connor (@dorothy.oconnor.9), and can be enjoyed through June 9th. Learn more at bhnp.org.

We 💙 our volunteers!
Thank you to Cox Enterprises for an incredible showing of support last week! A huge group of volunteers pulled invasives and cleaned the Woodland Loop mural wall.

Cox Enterprises is one of our Gold Sponsors, uplifting Blue Heron with financial support as well as their volunteerism. Thank you, @coxenterprises, for helping us preserve the Preserve!

This Art of Nature 2024 sneak peek is from "A Drop in the Community Pond" by Hellenne Vermillion (@hellenne.vermillion). It can be found on the sandbar in Nancy Creek.

"Like a pebble dropped into a pond, each thought you have, each word you utter, each action you take radiates as unseen energy out into your community. Add a positive thought, speak a kind word, and practice generosity and compassion to add to the world's energy. Be aware, because you matter."
