It’s that time of year again! 🐣 The wetlands are bustling with hatchlings, and one of our biologists was lucky enough to spot this adorable little killdeer chick. Watching these little guys explore a growing wetland is the perfect way to spend a day.

The wetlands have really started to pop with color! Blue vervain (Verbena hastata) and swamp rose (Rosa palustris) have made an appearance! 🌸
Seeing these water loving native species establish and bloom is always a great milestone during our seasonal site monitoring. They bring both structural diversity and incredible pollinator value to the habitat.

Check out some of our most recent visitors at a few of our new streams! When animals like this eastern box turtle and this long-tailed salamander are found making themselves at home, we know we did something right, and that all the hard work and muddy field days were worth it!

This little fawn might look abandoned, but they’re actually under a watchful eye! 🦌👀 Mother deer bed their babies somewhere safe and then keep their distance to confuse predators. This little guy was doing his absolute best impression of a downed log—or maybe just a very funny-shaped rock.

We here at the Stream and Wetlands Foundation always recommend that you stop and smell the flowers! But in this case, maybe keep your nose at a distance! Admire the surprisingly attractive flowers of Toxicodendron radicans, also known as poison ivy, from afar. 🌿👀

🌾 Summer Field Season is Officially Here! ☀️
​The boots are muddy, the GPS units are charged, and our field biologists are officially headed out into the swamps. 🥾
​Before the summer heat fully kicks in, our team is busy establishing permanent monitoring plots across our wetland restoration sites. We use these plots to track long-term data on native plant establishment and overall habitat health.

Plot twist: it’s not a frog! While we love our usual amphibian friends, we couldn't resist sharing this little guy for a special fauna Friday. A sharp eye from Williams Forestry & Associates spotted them taking a cozy break in the perfect shady spot. 🦌

We love spring flowers, and this one is especially showy! Iris versicolor, or the northern blue flag, is an iris native to Ohio and makes a great addition to a wetland or any wet spot in your garden!
