If you’ve ever wanted to get better and predicting nature’s recurring events, here’s a great opportunity to learn more.
Denise Ellsworth of the OSU Agricultural Research Center will share how this study, called phenology, works to help us predict things such as bird migration, hunting and gathering seasons, blooming of wildflowers and trees, and the seasonal appearance of insects that have been recorded for centuries.
Phenology: Using Age-Old Science of Predicting Bloom Time, is a program that will take place on Saturday, March 26, from 2 to 3 p.m. at The West Woods Nature Center, 9465 Kinsman Road (Route 87), Russell Twp.
Program participants will learn how phenology tells us what’s blooming and what insect activity is in the near future, then how to customize an easy-to use, web-based biological calendar for garden plants and insect pests.
Registration is not required for this free presentation. Call 440-286-9516 with questions. The West Woods Nature Center is wheelchair/stroller accessible.
