Hooray for the annual teachers' workshop!
One of my favorites times of year has arrived! We are hosting the 5th annual teachers' workshop at Nature Up North today and tomorrow, and I always find it totally inspiring to collaborate with a group of dedicated North Country K-12 folks. Let the fun begin!
Reach for the sun
Cloud covered day near the Grasse River, but the plants are reaching for any remnant sunlight none the less.
NUN workshop
Setting trail cams and checking out the local situation. Several caterpillars on box elder leaf.
Common chicory
Common chicory (Cichorium intybus) flower, located on trail off Miner Street and along the Grasse River.
Grasse River SLU Workshop
Nice nature walk setting up cameras.
Hydrating along the river
Enjoying the greenery along the Grass River on the first day of August
Stop to smell the Asters
Learning how to post encounters during a NUN workshop while walking cross country trails around campus. Love me some Nature Up North!
I have an ash tree! What now?
Emerald Ash Borer is an invasive beetle that has killed tens of millions of ash trees since its discovery in Michigan in 2002. EAB reached St. Lawrence County in 2017. If you have ash trees on your property, it is important to plan for EAB.
Azure Mt fire tower
This was a nice day without too many bugs or people. Azure's fire tower just turned 100 years old, there was a nice celebration in nearby St. Regis falls.
