Great article Children & Nature Network and Wakan Tipi Awanyankapi! ??
Do you know what might be hiding beneath your feet? In St. Paul, Minnesota, Phalen Creek once flowed freely through the east side of the city. Now, the waterway is concealed in an underground pipe. Waka? Tipi Awa?ya?kapi is leading the effort to resurface the creek, restoring its natural flow and habitat — but the project's impact will extend far beyond the environment. “Restoration is about healing the land,” says Gabby Menomin, restoration manager at Wakan Tipi Awanyankapi, “and with healing the land, you're healing both the wildlife and the insects that rely on those native habitats, but also the broader community.” Discover how this remarkable project will help local communities forge deeper cultural connections and strengthen their bond with the land in our latest Finding Nature News feature article. https://bit.ly/3XWaIf9 #FindingNatureNews #StPaulMN #Community #Connection #Environment #ChildrenAndNature

Our Conservation Program Director attended one of the tree seed collection workshops at Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve. We are also one of the organizations The Nature Conservancy is working with to train our youth interns to be seed collectors. This fall, we've focused on black walnuts, and last fall we collected about 40 gallons of bur oak acorns! ??????? https://lnkd.in/gdqaG2kp #treeseeds #treeplanting MPR News
