How many Pawpaws does it take to supply supply Brooms Bloom Dairy with enough pulp to make Pawpaw Ice Cream for our upcoming 7th Annual Harford County Pawpaw Celebration?!?!?!?

What an incredible evening of yoga and nature!

Our Sunset Hilltop Yoga event with Lexie Hash was a great success! Guests gathered on our hilltop wildlife viewing platform overlooking the Deer Creek Valley for an hour of gentle movement, mindful breathing, and peaceful connection with the natural world.

As the sun began to set over the valley, everyone had the chance to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the tranquility of the Conservation Center. It was the perfect reminder of how powerful nature can be when we simply take a moment to pause and appreciate it.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to Lexie Hash for leading such a wonderful class! We’re so grateful to be able to offer unique experiences that bring our community together while connecting people with the incredible natural beauty of the Lower Susquehanna region.

We hope to see you at the next one!

Sometimes our most stunning wildlife species are those that we pay little attention to. The Ebony Jewelwing has a beautiful metallic blue-green coloration wrapped around a complex yet delicate structure. This species of broad-winged damselfly is food for many species of birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish throughout its life cycle. It also helps control mosquitoes, gnats, aphids, and other insects. When out in nature, if you take the time to really study your surroundings you will find all sorts of incredible creatures that you will never see while in a hurry.

We recently traveled to the beautiful Adirondack Mountains to attend the 2026 Northeast Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (NEPARC) Conference at Paul Smith's College in New York. Every summer, Northeast Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (NEPARC) serves as an incredible opportunity to connect with fellow conservationists, researchers, land managers, and students from across the Northeast who are all working to protect amphibians and reptiles. We enjoyed sharing ideas, learning about the latest conservation research, and bringing back new knowledge that will help guide our work here in the Lower Susquehanna region.

We were very excited to see some of the local flora and fauna of the Adirondacks such as Mink Frogs. Mink Frogs occur in the far northern US and Canada and look very similar to the Bull and Green Frogs but can be identified by the dark blotches on their back and a distinct onion-like smell.

A huge thank you to the NEPARC steering committee, the presenters, and everyone who made this year's event such a success. We're excited to put what we learned into action and continue working together to conserve our native amphibians and reptiles!
