Enjoying all the visitors of the habitat gardens and natural areas at Marywood these days!

Today we had a small bioblitz to help study biodiversity as part of the on-going volunteer land stewardship workdays we are doing there. Our good friend and guide, Lea of Joyful Wildcrafting, provided direction and a wealth of educational resources.

Another chance to help photograph pollinators and other “bugs” that we see is happening this Saturday, 8.25, from 9-11:30am. We will have guidance from Anna, our prolific iNaturalist champion!

This will be a chance to meet an expert and learn how to make the most of the useful app (iNaturalist is the program we use during bioblitzes, downloading in advance is strongly encouraged).

111 Lakeside Dr NE, Grand Rapids. Find us southwest of the parking lot, under the shade of trees.

Phlox divaricata, can’t recall where we got this species. One of the aforementioned growers. I promise to record better going forward. It’s part of the plant’s story!

People from St. Francis Sculpture Garden, Aquinas College, Dominican Sisters, the neighborhood and Wild Ones River City came together for a land stewardship workday in the woods with the Coldbrook Creek in the St. Francis Sculpture Garden at Marywood.

Lea Sevigney, from joined and led us in her wonderful way! She encouraged us to join the world wide bioblitz that is happening RIGHT NOW!
in the app iNaturalist.
