SPREAD YOUR WINGS

We recently had some great volunteers from the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) to help us at the Preserve! One group assisted Daniel, our meadows manager, in weeding the trail and deadheading sunflowers. Another group helped us in the woodlands by pulling Japanese Chaff, a highly invasive plant that's been covering much of the woodlands landscape.

Awesome work, everyone! The Preserve is a much more beautiful place, thanks to our volunteers. 👏

Scenes at the Preserve: the turtle basks in the sun.

Happy Fall, everyone! While the Preserve is still lush, the leaves will be changing color in no time. Make sure to pop on over to the Preserve this weekend to relax, bask in the sun, and commune with nature.

“Much like the objects I collect and treasure, my figurative and animal sculptures tell a story…Gesture, form, proportion, and color are pushed, stretched, and simplified to enhance the narrative and highlight emotion."

Meandering by @kristagrecco is on view in our indoor gallery space.

We hope you join us for Krista Grecco's Artist Talk on October 21st at 1 PM! More information can be found on our website: https://ow.ly/lmhz50PM57T

You may notice this tall plant along our meadows on your walks through the Preserve. It's ironweed!

This perennial blooms a beautiful bouquet of purple flowers and attracts a lot of pollinators. Make sure to look for it on your next stroll!

Last Saturday, we had some wonderful volunteers, including students from St. Pius X and @paceacademy, help clean our waterways.

Together, we collected ten bags of trash. There were balls, tons of floating styrofoam, cans/bottles, and even a very long cable. These items are detrimental to the species that call our Preserve home!

Bravo to the eleven volunteers who took the time last week to come to the Preserve. Our waterways are a little cleaner because of them. 👏

Though August Wellness Month has been over for a few weeks, September invites us to continue our health and wellness journey.

@northsidehosp makes excellent contributions to our community, such as sponsoring our August Wellness Month program. Programs and sponsorships like these remind us why getting outside and connecting with nature is essential.

Health and wellness can continue through active walks, jogging, or even finding a quiet space near a tree at the Preserve. We're open from sunrise to sunset!
