SUMMARY:Things with Wings Mini-BioBlitz
DESCRIPTION:The first mini-BioBlitz of the season will be held Saturday\, May 8\, 2021\, at 1:00 PM in Lincoln Trail Homestead State Park and Memorial.   ‘Bio’ means ‘life’ and ‘Blitz’ means ‘to do something quickly and intensively’. Together they make ‘BioBlitz’\, a collaborative search to discover as many species as possible\, within a set location. The park offers an outdoor learning space that is perfect for this fun activity and families and all ages can become scientists as they study the biodiversity at the site of Abraham Lincoln’s first home in Illinois. \nWe hope you can join us as we survey all “Things with Wings” and take part in the Illinois State Bird Count within the park. An expert/speaker will speak on the importance of birds and flying insects and will be available to help you identify species found. \nThe iNaturalist program will be explained so that everyone can download the app and use it on their mobile device if they would like.  The number of participants is limited to 50 due to COVID19 regulations and masks are required.  Send your reservations to Melody2a@hotmail.com. \nFor more information: \nMelody Arnold- melody2a@hotmail.com

SUMMARY:Native plantings at Lincoln Trail Homestead SP -- Help is Needed!!
DESCRIPTION:Lincoln Trail Homestead State Park and Memorial will be closing its gate on November 1st.  Our greatest wish is that you have enjoyed the park this season and have many happy memories spent there.  The park offered a very nice alternative for handling Covid-19.  Many improvements were made to improve the park however we have one more project that must be completed before the park closes for the winter.\n\nMoney from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation’s Stewardship Challenge Grant allowed us to purchase 100 native plants to be planted throughout the park.  Unfortunately the nursery just delivered the plants at this late date.  Due to the lateness of the delivered plants as well as inclement weather\, we must work very quickly\, before November 1st\, to get them planted.  This Saturday\, October 31st at 9:00 AM\, we are meeting at the park to plant these 100 native plants.\n\nWe really need as many volunteers that can to come to the park and help.  If we have plenty of help this project can be quickly accomplished.  Please\, if you have time\, any amount will be appreciated\, please consider helping us out.  Please contact Melody Arnold at melody2@hotmail.com letting her you can help.\n\nGratefully\,\nFriends of Lincoln Trail Homestead State Park and Memorial

SUMMARY:Tree Plantings at Lincoln Trail Homestead State Park and Memorial
DESCRIPTION:‘Parkway” tree planting this Friday\, October 9th\, starting at 9:00 AM.\nPlanting in the park will begin at 9:00 AM on Saturday\, October 10th \nSaturday\, October 3\, was the beginning of a very busy week at Lincoln Trail Homestead State Park and Memorial.  A dedicated group worked Saturday morning removing more bush honeysuckle throughout the park.  It was the last Restoration Day of a very successful season of eliminating this invasive plant. \nThis coming Thursday\, October 8\, 68 trees will be delivered to the park. 20 of the trees will be planted in “islands” along the Lincoln Memorial Parkway.  If you recall\, two years ago\, with the assistance of the Macon County Highway Department\, trees were planted along the Parkway.  Some of the trees did not survive due to weather and we are going to replace them.  Cages have been made to place around all live trees and the Macon County Highway Department is assisting us again by digging the holes for the trees and delivering mulch to be used at the “islands”. \nWe are asking for your help.  If you can give any amount of time to help\, we would greatly appreciate your assistance.  Our plan is to get all the ‘Parkway” trees planted this Friday\, October 9th\, starting at 9:00 AM.  On Saturday\, October 10th\, we will begin at 9:00 AM planting trees in the park.  Please meet at the RailSplitter Pavilion to collect your trees to plant.  If you can help us on either Friday or Saturday\, please contact Melody Arnold at melody2a@hotmail.com so we can finalize our plans for the plantings. \nWe hope you are taking time to visit the park.  The leaves are turning and  the park is beautiful.  You will be able to see all the improvements that have taken place this season.  Remember that the park does close November 1st.  We appreciate your consideration to help us this week.  A big job will be made easier with many hands.  We do ask that you wear a mask as we want all to be safe.

SUMMARY:From egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly!
DESCRIPTION:Butterflies do more than just paint a pretty picture. They help flowers pollinate\, eat plenty of weedy plants and provide a food source for other animals. In addition\, their presence or absence can tell us a lot about the local environment.  Join us as we learn how to protect and promote threatened  pollinators like Monarch Butterflies. \n
