Summertime at CEWC- free program opportunity too

As we begin into August many of the woody plants begin to show their fruit and seeds. Now is a great time to snap photos. It is also a great time for beginning and budding naturalists to observe and note our woody plants. Leaves and fruits are some of the key features of some of the species found around here.

We also will be hosting a free citizen science & iNaturalist family public program to help get new observers to join our project. On August 14, 2021 from 10am-12pm we will take a guided journey on one of our trails to get many observers out spotting the woody plants . The class will learn about iNaturalist features to our project and how to record your observations for CEWC’s page. Please bring your iPad, iPhone or tablet. All ages welcome.
