Took me nearly 40 years and moving away to finally catch the train in Nashville! Thanks to @BotanyRoger for the encouragement. Here to present to @NatlGovsAssoc on #environmental permitting.

@LittleMissEsri @naturalareas @MccoyThorunn Great virtual conference and great closing remarks! Looking forward to next fall for in-person conference in Manhattan KS.

[Sunny @LittleMissEsri]

Was so honored to give the closing plenary for the @naturalareas conference today, and my friends @MccoyThorunn and @BotanyRoger tuned in and grabbed this shot!

Not many wildflowers remain blooming but did enjoy the broad-leaved goldenrod, Solidago flexicaulis over the weekend.

@UTKHerbarium So do we need an invite from @UTKHerbarium ?

[BotanyRoger @BotanyRoger]

@Beverly20489817 @WolfRiverConser @TNEnvironment We’ll plan for next October!

[BotanyRoger @BotanyRoger]

Lovely fall weather this weekend for a canoe/kayak trip along the Wolf River. The section known as the Ghost River State Natural Area is one of my favorite paddle trips in all of TN. And, we had a great group! Thanks to partners @WolfRiverConser @TNEnvironment

Amazing time with colleagues strolling through an old growth shortleaf pine stand. My friend in uniform located and registered this TN state champion. @SLPInitiative @segrasslands @naturalareas

[BotanyRoger @BotanyRoger]

In 2018, this site was a plantation of loblolly pine, not native to this area. Now, it’s dominated by native herbaceous species that thrive after Rx fire. @segrasslands is using this restoration success in an upcoming film. Partners include @TNWildlifeFed @NFWFnews

[Conservancy in KY @nature_KY]

BIG NEWS! TNC in KY, @nature_tn, and @ConservationFnd have acquired the iconic Fern Lake property at @CumberlandGapNP. This property remains closed to the public for now until a transfer to the park occurs and management plan/infrastructure are in place.

2/2. Another fern for #fern Friday. Otro helecho para el viernes del helecho. Struthiopteris spicant, deer fern o lonchite en Español. @NatureaCant @ValledeCamaleno Lo encontramos por la Ruta de Reconquista.

[BotanyRoger @BotanyRoger]

1/2 Happy #fern Friday. Dryopteris affinis, scaly male fern on edge of Picos de Europa, Cantabria. It prefers moist soils and woodlands, just where we saw it. @ValledeCamaleno @NatureaCant

[BotanyRoger @BotanyRoger]

@ValledeCamaleno Estamos preparándonos para caminar hoy.

[BotanyRoger @BotanyRoger]

@ValledeCamaleno Hoy, creo que encontré quitameriendas y azafrán de otoño. ¿Correcto? I think I found both false Meadow saffron and autumn crocus. Both look similar but can be distinguished in these photos

[BotanyRoger @BotanyRoger]

Autumn crocus o azafrán silvestre en Castellano in it’s natural habitat in the high elevations of Picos de Europa Parque Nacional. ⁦@ValledeCamaleno⁩

Prior to the #chestnut blight in the US, chestnuts (Castanea dentata) were a popular food source. Although a different species, Castanea sativa nuts are still sold and consumed in Spain.
