JM Caldwell Park Pollinator Garden in Princeton

Dave Powell, 2007 – On our first workday three of us began the cleanup of the garden, most of which was removal of Western Ragweed. Kathy, Mary and Dave made good use of two hours and were rewarded by the butterflies that showed up which included two Monarch that began drinking nectar from the flower that we exposed.

Erwin Park

David Powell, 2007 – Even in August with no rain and heat our team is at Erwin Park on Monday mornings. Yes we do clear underbrush from the tree lines within the circle and cut trees out in the prairie and that is all a beneficial contribution to the beauty of the place. It has always been as important for those of who are working to spend time examining the natural growth in the prairie. We enjoy this time to share our knowledge and learn from each other as we wonder amongst the vegetation.

Author praises our Blackland Prairie Chapter Contribution.

Flora and Fauna

What we have seen

Dave Powell, 2007 My three spiny Fence Lizards are here as is my Anole however I have noticed the insect population is down. I attributed it to the freeze which might have killed a lot of insect larva that was getting close to maturity, the rain does not seem to cause the same thing. Maybe someone else can give definitive answer.
