🌱 Exciting news from our Little Free Library—

🌱 Exciting news from our Little Free Library—it’s now a Seed Library too!⁠
⁠
Thanks to our amazing educators, we’ve stocked a basket full of native plant seeds for you to take and grow. By sharing native seeds, we’re helping to grow a stronger network of plants that support pollinators, wildlife, and healthy ecosystems throughout our community.⁠
⁠
You’ll find the Seed Library at the north point of our Woodland Loop Trail (map at bhnp.org). Stop by to pick up a packet—or leave some of your own to share. Let’s grow something beautiful together! 💞

A huge thank you to our neighbors Wild Birds Unlim

A huge thank you to our neighbors Wild Birds Unlimited Atlanta for their recent donation to Blue Heron Nature Preserve! 🐦💙⁠
⁠
Both of our organizations believe in nurturing spaces where birds and people thrive—whether that’s through urban conservation efforts at Blue Heron or backyard habitats supported by WBU’s feeders, houses and other supplies.⁠
⁠
Looking to make your own yard a haven for birds? Wild Birds Unlimited can help! Visit them in Atlanta or tune into "Nature Centered," their backyard birding podcast (link in our bio).⁠
⁠
We’re grateful for their support in making Atlanta a better place for birds and nature lovers alike! 🌎🦉

We love the deer families that call the Preserve home—and we love them even more when they don’t eat our community garden! 😅⁠
⁠
Thanks to @abundance.landscapes, our garden now has a deer fence that protects these carefully tended plots while allowing nature to thrive. 🦌🌱⁠
⁠
Abundance specializes in designing beautiful landscapes that support biodiversity, conserve water, and grow food in harmony with nature. Their expertise in regenerative, edible landscapes aligns perfectly with our mission of environmental stewardship.⁠
⁠
With this upgrade, our gardeners—including those growing vegetables for donation to St. Luke’s Crossroads Kitchen—can count on a reliable harvest, free from unexpected deer taste-tests. ⁠
⁠
Huge thanks to Abundance for their thoughtful work! Additionally, thanks to @ga_power and to the Blue Heron community gardeners for providing the funding necessary for the deer fence, yard hydrants and other recent improvements at the garden. We're so excited to see this year's upgraded garden in bloom! 🌻🌺🥬

Amazing. Our educators took broken crayons from past crafting sessions, and instead of throwing them away, melted them down and re-cast them into frogs. Crayon frogs.⁠
⁠
It's recycling at its most whimsical... what will they think of next? 😄🐸🖍️⁠

🌱 It's really the little things that make the world go 'round 💚⁠
⁠
Recently, our longtime supporters Sue and Gordon Certain stopped by with a special gift—seeds from native pollinator plants they help grow at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta. They collected seeds from Coneflower, Yarrow, Blazing star, and more, and donated them to be planted in our Meadow for Monarchs along Roswell Road and Lakemoore Drive.⁠
⁠
With every seed, we are expanding wildlife corridors, strengthening habitats, and weaving a richer network of life. Native plants don’t just bring beauty—they provide food, shelter, and essential pathways for pollinators, birds, and countless other creatures who rely on these landscapes to thrive.⁠
⁠
Thank you, Sue and Gordon, for helping us grow not just flowers, but a flourishing future for the wildlife we are so devoted to protecting. 🌿🐝🌎⁠

🌞 A Few Spots Left for Blue Heron Summer Camp!⁠
⁠
Summer at Blue Heron Nature Preserve is all about exploration, creativity, and hands-on fun in nature—and we still have a few openings left for 2025!⁠
⁠
Each week, campers dive into nature through:⁠
🌳 Forest adventures & wildlife observation⁠
🐛 Turning over rocks & discovering tiny creatures⁠
🎨 Creating art with natural materials⁠
💦 Splashing in Nancy Creek & searching for salamanders⁠
⁠
No two weeks are exactly alike! Whether your camper joins us for a single session or multiple adventures, they’ll leave with new discoveries, fun memories, and a deepened love for nature.⁠
⁠
📅 A limited number of spots remain—sign up while you can! If your first-choice week is full, join the waitlist and we’ll notify you of openings.⁠
