Nature journaling is back this month! Today is you

Nature journaling is back this month! Today is your first chance to meet us in the Old Forest to capture the abundance of spring. Meet us at 4:30 at the "mushroom gate" by East Parkway Pavilion for this free program every Tuesday in April. Bring your own notebook or journal and writing materials. We'll have writing and coloring supplies such as watercolors, coloring pencils, and crayons available to share!

Work is underway on the project that will end park

Work is underway on the project that will end parking on the Greensward and create a new trail in the Old Forest! We expect construction on the new trail this summer with a goal of opening in the fall, and we're currently in the permitting phase for work to move the Zoo's maintenance facility and create a new parking lot along N. Parkway. Get all the details by tapping the link in our bio.

The Old Forest is bursting with life right now, as

The Old Forest is bursting with life right now, as spring ephemeral plants wake up for just a few weeks before the trees leaf out and soak up all the available light. Today's #NatureZen is an appreciation of all the blooms and buzzes in the woods: visit overtonpark.org/naturezen or tap the link in our bio.

Do you love the birds and bees? You can help save

Do you love the birds and bees? You can help save them! This year, Overton Park Conservancy will be sharing ways that you can bring conservation home by making small changes in your own backyard that can make a big difference for local wildlife! Join us on Saturday, April 5 to learn ways to improve your yard ecosystem by using native plants and perennials to attract pollinators. We’ll cover the best plants for our region, the wildlife benefits you can expect, and how to care for your garden year-round. We’ll also have plants for sale, so think about what spaces you’d like to fill in your garden! Register now at https://overtonpark.org/event/workshop-pollinator-paradise/ or by tapping the link in our bio.
