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.

Happy first day of spring! You may have noticed drifts of these beautiful white-and-pink flowers near the @brooksmuseum and East Parkway Pavilion. They're aptly called spring beauties, and they're very important to bee species that only fly for 2-3 weeks per year. If you'd like to learn more about these bees, you can still join us for today's Third Thursday Trek at 4pm! Sign up at https://www.overtonpark.org/trek.

Plant genetic diversity is the foundation of resilient ecosystems and sustainable agriculture. At our April 1 Science Café, Dr. Jennifer Mandel of @uofmbiology will tell us about the genetic variation found in both natural and agricultural plant populations. Using examples from ongoing research, she’ll discuss the evolutionary processes shaping plant genomes, the importance of conserving genetic resources, and how genomics can inform conservation and crop improvement efforts.

Registration is open now at overtonpark.org/sciencecafe or at the link in our bio!
