Last week's news, but did you hear about new bee species found in Pennsylvania? We think that's pretty cool. Keep your eyes peeled, knowledgeable citizen scientists. pennlive.com/life/2024/08/ne…
This is so great. @natlands for the win! Our @VillanovaU neighbor to the north to remain preserved!
Saving this PA forest fragment took big work by SaveOakwell, neighbors, edu institutions, and most importantly @LMSD students. The centuries old trees stand, the air & water stays cleaner, & the community enjoys nature thx to @natlands. Keep the faith. tinyurl.com/4kusztfp
What's going on in Your #NativePAPlant #pollinatorgarden? This one on @VillanovaU main campus is buzzing!
