Bonavista BioBlitz Highlights! ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ”  On Monday, we met at Beaver Pond in Bonavista for a BioBlitz and nature walk! From plants to pollinators, we teamed up to share our identification skills and soak in the beauty of the natural space around us. ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿฆ‹  Huge thanks to everyone who joined us, it was a fantastic day of curiosity, connection, and all things nature!

โ˜˜๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ Last week, we teamed up with t โ˜˜๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ Last week, we teamed up with the @girlguidesnl - Girl Guides at their camp for an outdoor adventure!  We kicked things off with a nature walk and scavenger hunt ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒผ checking off all sorts of cool finds along the trail.  One of the fun things we spotted on our walk was, Bunchberry (Cornus canadensis)!
At first glance, it looks like it has big white petals, but those are actually modified leaves called bracts! These clever adaptations help attract pollinators to the tiny flowers tucked in the center. Nature is full of surprises! ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ  Then it was time to become stream biologists! ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ”ฌ We pretended that the buckets were our streams, capturing macroinvertebrates, identifying our finds, and even processed real data like the scientists we are!  A big thanks to the Girl Guides for having us ,we had a blast! โ˜˜  #NatureWalk #GirlGuides #StreamScience #Wetlands #OutdoorEducation #Macroinvertebrates #CitizenScience #NatureNL #AERF

Join Nature Newfoundland & Labrador and Aquatic Co Join Nature Newfoundland & Labrador and Aquatic Conservation Initiative on August 23rd, 10 AM at Piper's Hole Park for a BioBlitz + Nature Walk, where we try to identify as many species as possible with iNaturalist! All ages are welcome.
Have you ever seen a strange critter and wished you could ask a scientist what it was? iNaturalist is like having professors in your pocket! iNaturalist is an app that allows users to upload evidence of living things and suggests an identification for the organism. Other scientists using the app can either verify or suggest another ID! Want to learn more about iNaturalist and practice your nature identification skills?  Register using the following link:

Happy #WetlandWednesday Did you know we have sev Happy #WetlandWednesday  Did you know we have several insectivorous plant species here in Newfoundland?!?  The Round-leaved sundew is a wetland species able to digest insects by attracting them to the sticky fluid that is excreted by their glandular tips. The insects get stuck to this sticky substance and are gradually digested by the plant.  How interesting is that!  Stay tuned every Wendsday for wetland features supported for the Aquatic Ecosystems Restoration Fund project funded by Fisheries and Oceans Canada.  #WetlandWednesday #reel #AERF #wetlands #boreal

Join Nature NL for an evening with Dr. Alfredo Jus Join Nature NL for an evening with Dr. Alfredo Justo โ€“ Curator of Botany & Mycology at the New Brunswick Museum.  Like in other parts of North America, many mushroom species occurring in Atlantic Canada are still waiting to be collected and described, and a good number of the supposedly common species are still hiding under incorrect European names, or have not been yet named at all. In this talk we will explore the MycoMap Atlantic Canada project, which aims to document all mushroom species occurring in the region, combining collection-based research, contributions from local groups of naturalists and citizen-scientists and large-scale DNA-sequencing.  Photo description:  Hydnum atlanticum, a new species of hedgehog mushroom recently described from
New Brunswick.  Join Zoom Meeting
