Join us Saturday, August 8, for an exclusive behind-the-scenes visit to Creekside Collaborative, one of Northeast Ohio's most innovative conservation partnerships. View native plant species and learn what they can do for your yard, taste a variety of herbs and vegetables and harvest your favorites to take home with you, view the native tree nursery that provides ecological restoration across Northeast Ohio.

This isn't just a farm. It's a 16-acre living laboratory where native trees are grown to restore ecosystems, sustainable agriculture connects people to healthy food, and environmental organizations are redefining what conservation looks like for future generations.

Ten hearty folks braved the mosquitos July 9 to participate in our annual bat count at South Newbury Union Chapel, and we are pleased to report a slight increase in the number of bats over last year — yay! As I've said before, it will take a long time for the bats to rebuild their population, and there will be ups and downs along the way, but this is a good start. Here is an historical chart of counts from the bat condo including our 2026 results. -Naturalist Linda
