As naturalists we’re always keen to see spring arrive, so again in 2022 we organized a preview for late March at the Twin Bridges site in Polk County at the bottom of the escarpment outside Saluda. Given the challenges with parking there, we arranged three different dates, each led by member guides, and saw a total of 22 members participating. And fortunately the weather cooperated for all three dates, even if some of the hikes started out a little chilly.

WAMPUM is made from the purple and white Quahog shell found on the North American East Coast. It was used by tribes long before European arrival and is one of the few things still in existence that connect to original traditional Native culture.

Once again this year the Blue Ridge Naturalist Network will be holding a plant swap fundraiser on May 8th from 9 am to 1 pm, hosted by Charlotte Caplan. Our first plant swap in 2019 was highly successful, raising hundreds of dollars to supplement our annual budget. Basically the idea is that folks can bring in plants from their garden (natives preferred) and exchange them for other plants. Or they can simply buy plants at a nominal price of $4 each if they wish to take away more than they brought. We make money by providing a start-up selection of plants donated by BRNN members.
