Take part in our Cherry Blossom Blitz! All you need to do is submit a phenology observation on a cherry tree. Data collected annually can be compared across years, revealing trends to project peak bloom dates in the future. Learn more at https://t.co/OSSQmv7wgd

And it’s Monty! 😍 It was completely awesome to see Monty of Chicago’s famed couple, Monty & Rose, at the Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary in Texas! Each year Monty travels there - over 1100 miles from Montrose Beach, Chicago! Rose goes to Anclote Key,
Florida. (1)

More than 99% of prairies in IL have been destroyed. Bell Bowl Prairie, one of the lucky few to survive, is to be turned into a road. A road which could be redesigned to simply not pave over the prairie.

Thousands of years of history to be needlessly converted into concrete.

Not trying to make anyone feel self-conscious about their non-Chicago city but…we woke up like this. 💁🏾‍♂️

A few branches of this sand pine, Pinus clausa, in Georgia have ripe cones! Once seeds are ripe, cones open and drop their seed. Discover the seasonal changes in plants near you by making a Budburst observation at https://t.co/KhaR73SOn9 #PhenologyFriday

Over 1000 EcoFlora observations were made last year. The most observations were made on common milkweed, A. syrica, with a whopping 196! Do we think we can break 200 in 2022?

We wonder how this is affecting plant phenology in these areas! Submit an observation on a plant near you to help us find out!
