Upcoming Events
Winter Solstice Hike | Thursday, December 19 from 4-5 PM at the Environmental Education Lab
What better way to welcome in the winter solstice than a snowy forest walk at dusk? Be sure to bring your snowshoes and dress for the weather! Hot chocolate will be provided, so bring a travel mug too if you have one. |
Ongoing Projects
Earlier this year, we were fortunate enough to be awarded a grant from the Wildflowers Association of Michigan to fund the establishment of a new pollinator garden outside Emerald Elementary School's front entrance. We were busy earlier this summer preparing the site (formerly an unused strip of lawn), and most recently had fourth and fifth grade classes from both Emerald and St. Francis Elementary School to help us with planting.
We still have a bit of work to do before the garden will be complete, including rehabbing the school's garden beds and creating the sign (which will be bordered by pictures of pollinators as drawn by all of Emerald's students), but we're thrilled with how it's looking so far! Thank you to our amazing volunteers, as well as Emerald's staff and faculty, for helping us bring this project to life. |
