It was a great day at the office today!

We also have an ongoing, student-led research project on the eastern box turtle here at the EcoLab. We're working to figure out how many individuals we have on the property and how they make use of the habitat.

A few days late for World Turtle Day, but we just saw these two excellent turtle friends in the EcoLab today.

Fire is an important tool for many land managers, including us here at the EcoLab. Our prairie especially benefits from burning, but many of our forest areas likely would as well, as described in this article.

A movement is growing to reintroduce controlled burns to forests and grasslands, bringing back the role of fire in creating biodiverse landscapes. https://t.co/aUhFcwJlTu

Need a gift idea for Mother’s Day? Start a garden! It’s a lasting gift that also helps the environment. We offer several beautiful options for any type of garden. Most species sell out fast, so order today for the best selection. Sales end April 30th!

We've found a new little box turtle friend on one of the trails!

The EcoLab Birdathon team is starting their "big day" tomorrow to find as many species as possible! It's a fundraiser for the local Audubon chapter and the proceeds provide the EcoLab with plants for restoration projects. Please contribute to team EcoLab: https://t.co/EDIepgeVuH

Students from the Ecology and Evolution lab spent the afternoon collecting aquatic invertebrates to assess water quality in Crooked Creek. Found all sorts of cool critters!

A beautiful afternoon for a walk on the trails today. Signs of spring abound; turtles basking on a log, and can you see the frog and minnows?
