The Menominee Park native plant restoration sites are looking pretty sweet right now. They were mowed in July to keep their stature low but still allow many species to bloom. Yesterday 12 UWO students did some supplemental planting out there. Hopefully we’ll see some new species appear in coming years.

From one of our longest-serving, most reliable, and most knowledgable volunteers, MaryBeth Petesch (who was taking the photos), after UEO worked with city forester Travis Derks and students from Communities at Oshkosh North and their teacher to remove weeds (enough to almost overflow the bed of his pickup - see photo) in our collaborative project in the woods behind the school on the annual 9/11 day of service:

"Teacher Barb and the Communities high school crew did a fine job of clearing out invasives this afternoon at their 'budding' Miyawaki forest. Travis, Head of the Oshkosh Forestry Department, gave a quick tutorial with laminated sheets, explaining what to pull and what not to pull. I think the sun, fresh air, and a little bit of sweat put into this ongoing project was good for the teenagers. 👍 I’m glad I took the time to check it out. It’ll be very interesting to see how the plot progresses over the years. ☺️"

We had a great time hanging out with Winnebago County Parks & Sunnyview Expo Center, spreading the word about UEO, and participating in the Slow Roll at County Park in Oshkosh last night!

Last night was one of the best bats walks we’ve ever had! We walked on the trellis trail bridge from Fritse Park a half hour out and back, and the bat calls were almost nonstop. There were many bugs, but not mosquitoes. There were also a lot of waterfowl. We will definitely be coming back. Next week we are planning to meet at Asylum Bay near the lighthouse again at 8:45 PM on Thursday.
