FEBRUARY 2015 NEWSLETTER 
Feeling stir-crazy in the cold? Get out and enjoy the park adorned in snow!   

Join us tomorrow for a Winter Nature and History Walk in the 80th Anniversary year for Glen Providence Park! George and Eleanor Butler donated the majority of the land for the park in 1935, as a Bird Sanctuary and Arboretum. We’ll focus on the 80th anniversary as we share historical photos, maps and descriptions of the glen. Learn about winter characteristics of the park’s native shrubs and plants, as we look for wildlife and early signs of Spring(!). After the last few days' bitter temperatures, it will feel almost balmy in the 20's tomorrow during our walk! Meet us at 10:00 at the main entrance. 

Thank you for the responses to our Citizen Science survey! If you haven't taken the survey yet, and are interested in volunteering to help us document nature in the park, take the very-short-survey here! With your input, we'll decide next week on our 2015 Citizen Science project.

Mark your calendars for our full 2015 Schedule of Events, including nature walks, volunteer events, citizen science, and activities for kids! We've started scheduling our Summer Concert Series - stay tuned for details. As always you can follow us on facebook and our website to stay posted. Stay warm - it won't be long until spring arrives...
 

Enjoy the Park!
