Want to join field experts in identifying the plant and animal communities present in the headwaters of the South River? Come spend some time during 24 hours of botanizing, birdwatching, and butterfly chasing. From noon on June 27th to noon on June 28th, volunteers will be out scouring the South River greenway, cataloging all the insects, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and plants they come across.
This area is very rich in wildlife and was designated as an important bird area by the MD/DC Audubon Society.
For more information or to get involved, contact: Alyssa Domzal, South River Greenway Coordinator for the Scenic Rivers Land Trust, alyssa@srlt.org or (248) 860-7635.
Below is the Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea), one of the forest interior dwelling birds that rely on large tracts of forest like those found in the greenway.
