I’ve been kicking around an idea and wanted to see if anyone else would be interested.
I’d love to start a local group called Wiregrass Naturalists for people who enjoy learning about and spending time in nature. The idea wouldn’t be to be experts, it would be to learn together.
Things I could see the group doing include:
- Bird walks
- Tree and wildflower identification
- Learning about local wildlife
- Habitat restoration projects
- Stream and wetland exploration
- Nature photography
- Campfire discussions
- Family-friendly hikes
Maybe meet once a month somewhere around the Wiregrass and have an online group to share wildlife sightings, interesting articles, and upcoming events.
Whether you’re a hunter, birder, photographer, forester, hiker, conservationist, or just someone who wants to know more about the natural world around us, you’d be welcome.
I’m just trying to see if there’s enough interest before I put something together.
Would anyone be interested?
Thanks!
Update: Thanks for all the interest and feedback! I decided to go ahead and create r/WiregrassNaturalists. If you’re interested in the natural world of the Wiregrass: wildlife, native plants, birding, conservation, hiking, fishing, hunting, or community science, come join us!
