Happy from Heartland Conservation Alliance 🌎 Let's shower our incredible planet with extra love today and make it a habit every day. Remember, even the smallest acts of green kindness – like recycling that extra bottle or planting native flowers – can make a big, beautiful difference! 🌱💚
To kick off Earth Day week, this past Saturday, HCA in collaboration with Renewing the Blue contractor Bluestem Habitat Restoration and a dedicated group of volunteers to plant 138 native trees within the oxbow riparian zone along the Blue River at Blue Valley Park. This effort builds on extensive honeysuckle removal, which helps to restore the midstory and create space for native species to thrive.
But don’t worry, there are more opportunities to celebrate Earth Day today, this weekend, and for weeks to come! Join us today or this Saturday for restoration work at the Heartland Overlook Preserve. As an added bonus, Saturday’s restoration workday is also paired with a bioblitz in collaboration with the City Nature Challenge!
