Looking Green!

The wet meadows are growing! Here are some pictures from a sunny walk around the park on June 11th.

Cup Plant

Beebalm

Prairie Dock

There were even wild strawberries

And soon there will be raspberries!

In Wet Meadow 3, there were plenty of pollinators, including this honeybee buzzing around in this bright Sand Coreopsis!

All of the wet meadows were looking great. Soon there will be even more blooms as the Black Eyed Susans and Cone Flowers turn the wet meadows yellow!

New Poster Shows How Wet Meadows Clean Water

I made these posters to show how our Buhr Park Wet Meadows filter water, keep streams and rivers clean and help produce clean drinking water.
