Upcoming programs at Beall Woods State Park:
Leaf Litter Critters
Fridays, July 12th and 19th, 9 - 11am
This is a two part program. On Friday the 12th, we will be in search of leaf litter critters. Participants will be collecting leaf litter samples and learning how to use a Berlese funnel. On the 19th, dissecting scopes will reveal how many different types of organisms were buried under the leaves. Participants will record species diversity and abundance for each collection site. Please call 618-298-2441 if you plan on attending.
Gardening for Pollinators
Saturday, July 13th, 9am-10am
With the array of brilliant colors added to the green landscape, flowers bring forth a state of peacefulness and happiness to their observers. Not only is their aesthetic value of importance, but many organisms rely on flowers for survival. Find out how to attract wildlife to your yard by planting beautiful native prairie plants. Participants should meet at the north shelter at 9am. We will be taking a short hike around the pollination garden and the prairie restoration site. Feel free to bring your camera!
