Posted @withregram • @centralindianalandtrust Yesterday was a beautiful day to be out at a nature preserve sharing the love of monarchs! Spirit & Place Festival-goers painted the life cycle of the monarch, hiked the woods, and learned about the importance of Indiana's habitat to this species' survival. Takeaways: Plant milkweed, protect more land. Also: Trees! Gorgeous to look at, but not only that: they are great at mitigating climate change (a threat to the monarchs and, well, everything.) Quotable quote: "Trees are the best technology we have for pulling carbon from the air." --@emwood414 of @indiana_wildlife_federation Mural panels by the incomparable @megsj1art Check out @spirit_and_place for more great events this week! #oliverswoods #spiritandplacefestival #spiritandplace #mywhiteriver #whiteriverIN #PulliamTrust #NinaMasonPulliamTrust #WhiteRiverPartners #PartnersfortheWhiteRiver #ourwaterways #myindiana #OliversWoodsNaturePreserve #riverinenaturepreserve #monarchbutterfly #monarchs #publicart #art #murals #urbanpreserve #communitymural #nature #naturepreserve #butterflies #monarchsofinstagram #protectedwoods #landprotection #amilliontrees #centralindianalandtrust #landtrust #cilti

🌳 After multiple years of invasive species removal projects lead by @kibiorg we finally get to add 500 native trees and shrubs back into this riparian corridor habitat. Thanks to all the great volunteers! Check out this urban habitat restoration project the next time you’re at @indyparks Riverside Park 🍁

Posted @withregram • @nwfoutdoors Today @HouseAgDems & @HouseAgGOP unanimously passed this bipartisan bill out of the committee! We are thrilled to see the “CWD Research & Management Act” get one step closer to becoming law. 🦌 Chronic wasting disease is one of the greatest threats facing deer, elk, and moose populations across the country, and this bill will help ensure state and tribal agencies have the resources they need to better understand and stop its spread. We are grateful for @repronkind and @congressman_gt for their leadership on this critical issue! #hunting #WildlifeConservation #ChronicWastingDisease #wildlife #conservation #deer #deerhunting #elk #elkhunting #moose #moosehunting #hunttoeat #meateater #fieldtofork

🦇 🦇 Posted @withregram • @indianadnr The first Indiana bat obtained by scientists came from southern Indiana’s Wyandotte Cave in 1904, earning the species it's name. This small, social bat forms large colonies in very few caves, huddling together in thousands to keep warm during hibernation. This species is listed as both state and federally-endangered; white-nose syndrome has caused this species to decline by 27% since 2010. Conservation efforts for the Indiana bat are supported by the Indiana Nongame Wildlife Fund: on.IN.gov/nongamewildlifefund . . . #indiana #indianadnr #visitindiana #midwest #midwestmoment #myindiana #h2gindiana #midwestexplored #naturephotography #midwestisbest #indiananature #naturalindiana #discoverindiana #exploreindiana #indiana_explored #naturelovers #igersindiana #hoosiergrammers #thisisindiana #indianaphotography #indianawildlife #outdoorindiana #indianaoutdoors #indianabat #endangeredspecies #bats #threatenedspecies #batcolony
