We had a beautiful day touring the pollinator hillside at Sawmill Wetlands. A huge thanks to Super Volunteer Tim who has started most of the plants from seed. His is a labor of love and we humans and the insects are the beneficiaries. Saw lots of bees and butterflies today.

Today marks the official beginning of an exciting collaboration with several of our community partners! The Worthington Hills Garden Club and Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed (FLOW) were awarded a grant from the Garden Clubs of Ohio. The grant will make it possible
to conduct long-term acoustic monitoring and to document birds, bats, and amphibians at Sawmill Wetlands. The first of two bat roost boxes were erected today with help from our partner the Ohio Division of Wildlife!

Saturday’s weather predictions may have kept our numbers down for the grand opening of our second story trail about Bea, the Queen of the Hillside, but those who came, including the last group who got very, very wet, had a great time! If you didn’t make it, the trail will be open throughout the summer. If you missed the first story trail about Skippy
the Flying Squirrel at Sawmill, you only have a couple more weeks to walk it!
