One of my main pet peeves is people thinking the non-native European honeybee is the only bee in the U.S. We have 4,000 native species! Today, on #WorldBeeDay, take a moment to give them some R-E-S-P-E-C-T! @LizLangley has the story for @natgeo https://t.co/T9ICqRnBr0
Adam Ganser's @NYCCouncil testimony called out the hypocrisy in the mayor's stated commitment to Parks/subsequent disinvestment:

Tomorrow, 5/21, join the Urban Park Rangers for a community science event based on a species older than the dinosaurs: horseshoe crabs! Gather data as these crabs take to NYC’s shores for nesting season while learning how we protect this ancient species: https://t.co/jBiF6ZpdOg
Tips for identifying #dogwoods: Cornus florida / Flowering Dogwood vs Cornus kousa / Kousa Dogwood. You can find both species in #WashingtonSquarePark. Use the @nycparks Tree Map to find these dogwoods in your neighborhood.
