Charlie helped us lead the Bird Walk tonight! She was rewarded with Bird City stickers. She also got to use her own bird sticker book that she brought along.
Some of our more interesting finds were the Nashville Warbler, Bluebird, Eastern Warbling Vireo and Orioles.
Don’t forget Saturday May 9th is World Migratory Bird Day so use the Merlin app and submit your findings on the eBird app!

Please join us for Rochester’s Arbor Day Celebration at City Hall on Wednesday May 22nd at 10am!

We're popping up at the City of Rochester, Michigan - Government Arbor Day Celebration 10 a.m. April 22, and we hope you'll stop by and chat with us about the future of Clinton River Oaks Nature Park!

The park is a 286-acre park that stretches along more than 2 miles of the Clinton River. What we know is that this new park will connect trails, waterways and public lands across Rochester and Rochester Hills. But what we don't know is what would get you to come out and enjoy this beautiful space. Maybe gathering spaces, or programming? Stop by and share your ideas.

Can't make it in person? Leave feedback on the project page on our Co-Creation Lab: https://bit.ly/CCL_CRO

A couple City Beautifiers, and Marilyn Trent, went to OU to hear the infamous Doug Tallamy speak about conservation and the little things we can do to support the earth. When we all do the little things, it becomes a big thing! Let’s plant more native plants, which support more caterpillars, which support more birds! Jeanine Offer Krupp and Laura Murphy
