🌳🐢✍️Last month Save the Dunes hosted the first "Writing in the Woods: Poetry Workshop" in collaboration with Shirley Heinze Land Trust and Valerie Wallace, our LaPorte County Poet Laureate. We're so excited for the next event in this series, taking place on Saturday, June 7th, from 4:00PM-6:00PM at Barker Woods! Today we are sharing a poem that was written by Dale K. Nichols, which was published by The Avocet. If you'd like to attend please register here: https://heinzetrust.org/event/writing-in-the-woods-poetry-workshop-barker-woods/ (fb)

Happy World Bee Day (May 20th)! The goal of this day is to strengthen measures aimed at protecting bees and other pollinators. One of the best ways you can support pollinators, including the many species of native bee's found in Northwest Indiana, is to plant natives in your garden. A great place to start learning more about native plants & the pollinator life cycles they support is our Living in the Dunes Volume 2, often called our "Pollinator Guide"! It is a free, downloadable resource on our website. https://savedunes.org//srv/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Save-the-Dunes-Pollinator-Guide.pdf (fb)
