Join Utah State University – Water Quality Extension here at the Nature Center for an interactive, hands-on training session to become a UWW volunteer! 🌟
Tracy Aviary has adopted a monitoring site on the Jordan River, and volunteers will help collect water quality data once a month. The data we collect helps inform policy and can also support future funding to improve our state’s water quality. 💧📋
Participants will start indoors for an overview of monitoring protocols before heading out to a local site for field practice. Come prepared for a short walk and Utah’s unpredictable spring weather—this event is rain or shine! Please register online via our events calendar.
Get ready to relax and unwind with your guide Ian! Our first session of Nature-based Mindfulness is happening next Sunday, March 29th from 9am to 10:30am. For more information, visit our website. 🌿
We now have worm co-workers! Worms play an important role in soil health, and despite being tiny, can have a huge impact on the environment! 🪱🌱
They feed primarily on organic material, and Red Wigglers ingest leaf litter and decomposing vegetation. As worms eat, their waste mixes into the soil, and their movements introduce oxygen and create space for plants to take root.
A special thank you to @LetsGoCompost for providing these materials for us. This kit gives us the opportunity to share with the community the importance of vermicompost, composting with worms! ✨
Our volunteers serve a vital role in our success.
Enjoy hands-on experiences, gain friendships, and help support our fledgling nature center.
