Visiting our local wildlife sanctuary and prepping for our pollinators

by The ChappelsApril 19, 2024Gave 12 Hours for Earth

I helped out with my daughter's field trip to a sanctuary called Wildlife Prairie Park. All of the animals are native to the area, and come with stories for why they are non releasable (expect the buffalo and elk). My 11 year old excitedly talked about Fenn, Reed, Abbott, and Coconut when her friends had questions about the foxes and birds. I was so happy to answer any questions I could thanks, in part, to your streams. We also spent some time this week preparing our garden for pollinators in our yard. We also set up composting in containers found during our town's "junk" week, and started a dead hedge with recycled fence.

Zoo visit inside enclosures, with vet college!

by Lexy (Balacobaco) April 13, 2024Gave 5 Hours for Earth

Helooo, I'm Lexy, im in vet college here in brazil (im Brazilian), im also an alveus fan for a long time now! This weekend i went to the zoo with my study group, to make a visit INSIDE the animal's enclosures. We had a guide teaching us everything about how to take care of the animals and all the things about the conservation work of those organizations, i could talk about it for hours. It was really cool, the animals are UNREALISTICALLY pretty, i feel the pictures don't do justice to their beauty, really! Seeing them so close was crazy, and learning too. If u have time go to the zoo! That's it, thanks <3 (the visit inside the enclosure are just for vet students authorized by the government)

Did very small fieldnotes on "Darwin's Finches"

by moqa_April 13, 2024Gave 1 Hour for Earth

This is a small section of "fieldnotes" after studying Medium Ground-finches for a school Biology assignment revolving evolution and selection pressures. In 1835 Charles Darwin closely studied Finches in The Galápagos Islands and he theorized that different species of finch had evolved on different islands, their distinctive beaks being an adaptation to distinct natural habitats or environmental niches. Since then, a single Finch species has evolved into 13 different species that are adapted to fill different lifestyles on each of the islands! :D

Gardening and Birb photos

by TeaApril 13, 2024Gave 4 Hours for Earth

I started my garden roughly two months ago, it's currently empty and ready for new plants which I'm currently growing! I've also been getting into bird photography, I've also found two hives of wasps, and I found a love for them even though my father is allergic. The wasps are gentle, nice even. I like looking up to see their cute little faces <3. I live in Australia, and I adore the nature here, I've been thinking of going on a hike when I have free time <3
