Forestry Invasives Workshop We enjoyed a great turnout to our forestry invasives workshop. We learned many things about invasivesand managing them from our wonderful speakers Dawn Slack, Ron Rathfon, and Matt Leibering. We hope to see all of our attendees fighting against our counties invasive species!
Our Resilient Indiana Tech, Sydney Hassfurther, wrote a wonderful article on our workshop, it can be read here.
Native Seed Collection We had a pop-up native seed collection at Friedman Park. We collected seeds of Ashy Sunflower, Switchgrass, Wild Rye, Asters, Rosinweed, and some more! It was a very educational and fun short event! We look forward to doing more this coming spring and summer!
Tree Planting at Tennyson Park We enjoyed planting a variety of native trees at the Tennyson Park. Tennyson is kind enough to host us with our Conservation Crusaders Program and was in need of some new trees after having a few die off. The trees planted include Kentucky Coffee Tree, Pecan Trees, Eastern Redbud, Northern Catalpa, Basswood, and a River Birch. If you are in the area, make sure to stop by and appreciate this wonderful array of native diversity!
From Our Facebook: Thank you to Pack 163 and 4-H Club Community Builders and the Schitter family for helping us plant native tees at Tennyson Park! We were so grateful for all the help! Thank you, Town of Tennyson, too for always being a great partner!
