Introducing: Wildlife Wednesdays

Hello naturalists!

This is an announcement that we will be posting on select Wednesdays starting in April and continuing through the summer for a feature known as “Wildlife Wednesdays”. Our project target species include flowering plants because they act as excellent bioindicators of climate change. However, we know that every now and then our fuzzy, armored, vibrant, and warty animal community deserves some love too!

And besides, we technically are called “Flowers AND fauna along the AT corridor”.

The focus of introducing these individual animals or groups will be to enlighten their relationship with our target plant species and some querc-y guest plants. From germination to pollination and back again, animals help plants complete their life cycles (cue phenology).

And plants, well, they provide nectar, intrigue, crunchy leaves, and sometimes even slippery slopes you can’t escape. 

So, get bear-y excited for the animals to buzz, hum, and march into our content and your hearts. In the meantime, continue documenting the glamor of a new spring.
