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."

This Art of Nature 2024 sneak peek is from "A Drop

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."

Two snake sightings at the Preserve! Spotted this

Two snake sightings at the Preserve!

Spotted this DeKay's Brownsnake (Storeria dekayi) near the Nancy Creek Overlook in the Woodland Loop. This common, nonvenomous snake is native to our area, and its diet of slugs and snails should make it a welcome sight in any habitat - but it is the species most often misidentified as Copperheads, which can lead to it being killed unnecessarily. Brownsnakes lack the distinctive pattern of Copperheads, and they tend to be small and secretive.

This Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix) was crossing the path near the Field Research Center off Land O Lakes. These common, venomous snakes have thick bodies with distinct patterning, a triangular head, and elliptical pupils. If you see one, just give it plenty of space and know it will do its best to avoid you. Keeping your pets leashed helps ensure their safety.

Our friends at The Amphibian Foundation (@amphibianfoundation) have a range of educational programs and courses for all ages designed to introduce, inform, and instruct on all kinds of critters. Visit amphibianfoundation.org to find out more!

This Art of Nature 2024 sneak peek is from "Sights" by Julia Hill (@sculpturethings). It can be found in the wetlands at 1 Emma Lane.

"'Sights' is a teleidoscope made from salvaged materials collected from Atlanta's forests and fringes. The interactive scope invites visitors to engage with a sense of wonder and curiosity, playfully seeking fresh and interesting perspectives, and expanding their relationship to the world."
