Ever wonder what those plants are that are taking over your backyard? or the side of the road? or the nearby hiking trail? Freya, a monthly blog correspondent and Bucktails and Ursids alumna, writes about her battles with these few invasive plant species and her battle to rid them from their improper homes.
Wondering what to feed the birds singing outside your window? Makayla, a monthly blog correspondent and Bucktails alumna, writes about an interesting way to feed those “feathered friends!”
This week’s blog is written by Hannah, a monthly blog correspondent, and Bucktails and Drummers alumni and ATL. She has worked hard to establish an officially recognized monarch waystation at her local high school, so it’s no surprise that even though it’s winter, Hannah has plenty of info to share with us about these gorgeous little insects!
Julia is a Bucktails alumni, and writes this guest post about how we can all enjoy shinrin-yoku in our lives. Describing the restorative properties of the practices, she makes a strong argument for making the time to get back to nature!
Makayla, one of our Monthly Correspondents, is a Bucktails alumni and Assistant Team Leader. She is also a very talented photographer, and has captured some excellent photographs for this week’s blog – she shares her method for being prepared with us, and has some great advice!
