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 budburst.org/cherry-blossom-…

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) – at Texas, USA

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.

📣 Hey Governor Pritzker, reroute the road, save the prairie❗ Call 312-814-2121 to tell the nice office staff you support Illinois nature & Gov. Pritzker needs to take action. Bell Bowl Prairie must be PERMANENTLY protected as an Illinois Nature Preserve. #SaveBellBowlPrairie

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 budburst.org/ #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? Visit budburst.org/chicago-ecoflor… to learn more about Budburst EcoFlora. #ChicagoEcoFlora

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

Our 6-10 day temperature outlook favors below normal temperatures for early January for the mountains and valleys. Overall, our entire region will see cooler temperatures for the new year. #COwx
