SUMMARY:Late Fall Botanical & Bird Walk at Spring Grove Cemetery with Denis Conover
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Late Fall Botanical & Bird Walk \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery \nDate: Sunday\, November 17\, 2024 \nMeet: 10:00 A.M. at Spring Grove Cemetery\, along the road just beyond the tunnel from the main entrance on Spring Grove Avenue \nLeader: Denis Conover\, (513) 390-0863\, conovedg@hotmail.com \n. \nSome people think of November as a cold and dreary month but I would disagree. I think late autumn is a beautiful time of the year and the subtle hues of the landscape interspersed with late fall colors offer up a stark beauty.  \nOur field trip leader\, noted botanist Denis Conover\, agrees with me and as always\, he will point out the diverse botanical community found at Spring Grove Cemetery. Denis has become our regular ASO field trip leader for Spring Grove. Denis is an ASO Board Member\, a UC biology professor\, and an expert botanist and naturalist. So come along and join Denis as he leads us on a mid-morning autumnal walk through the beautiful grounds of Spring Grove Cemetery.  \nDenis will identify the tremendous diversity of trees\, shrubs\, fallen leaves and other plants that can be found here and expound on their ecology. Denis will also point out our native flora\, invasive species\, and ornamental plantings as well as show us some of the champion trees found here. Denis has interests in all aspects of natural history and he will be sure to point out the birds and other fauna we are sure to see. So come along and join Denis to see the fall foliage on what should be a beautiful autumnal morning and gain some tips and insight on plant identification and their natural history. Late migrant songbirds and new winter arrivals will also be seen. \nParticipants should be prepared for a few hours of steady walking\, most of which will be relatively flat and on pavement\, but there will also be some walking off pavement on trails or in damp or wet grass. This will be a three to four hour walk. Denis is always willing to stay later if anyone wants to go longer. We suggest wearing good waterproof footwear and dress for cool to cold temperatures. Binoculars are not necessary to see plants but are recommended if you have them\, or want to see birds clearly. Restrooms are available at the cemetery office. Denis says rain will not cancel this trip. If you have any questions feel free to contact Denis. \nDirections: The Spring Grove Cemetery main entrance is located on Spring Grove Avenue just west of the Winton Road intersection. To find our meeting spot\, drive in through the main entrance gates and go straight. You will go through a short tunnel. Just beyond the tunnel\, pull over and park alongside the right side of the road. \nSpring Grove Cemetery website: \nhttps://www.springgrove.org/locations/spring-grove-cemetery-arboretum/ \nSpring Grove Cemetery Map: \nhttps://www.springgrove.org/resource/maps/ \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)

SUMMARY:November Program- Wetlands and the Mill Creek Alliance with Dave Schmitt
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 20 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm\nPresented by Dave Schmitt \nSharon Woods Visitor Center \nIn 1997\, Mill Creek was named “the most endangered urban river in North America” by American Rivers and considered irremediable by many.  \nThey were wrong! \nAs a result of 30 years of dedicated work by the non-profit Mill Creek Alliance and many partners and volunteers\, Mill Creek has made a stunning recovery. Dozens of stream restoration projects\, hundreds of cleanups\, tens of thousands of trees planted\, aggressive independent water quality monitoring\, watershed-wide environmental education\, and multiple recreational opportunities have resulted in a stream and watershed that has once again become an amenity for the entire region\, and which can serve as as catalyst for multiple future benefits for some of our most under served communities. \n  \nMill Creek Alliance has completed one large wetlands restoration project in West Chester Township which is already attracting a lot of birds. An even larger wetlands restoration project on property immediately upstream from the first is currently out to bid\, and will be constructed in 2025.  \n  \nFind out more! Audubon Society of Ohio welcomes Dave Schmitt\, Executive Director of Mill Creek Alliance\, this Wednesday evening November 20 at 7 pm at Sharon Woods Visitors Center.  \n  \nMost birders know the importance of wetlands. More than 90% of Ohio’s wetlands have been lost to urban development or draining for conversion to farmland. Wetlands are critical to migratory and breeding birds\, important for recharging our groundwater\, and regulation/absorption of water runoff during heavy downpours\, plus wetlands are great places to go birding!  \n  \n  \nBio: Dave Schmitt is the Executive Director of the MCA. Dave is experienced in river conservation\, solid wastewater management\, brownfield remediation\, and the gamut of environmental laws and regulations.  \nDave earned a B.S. Biology from Marietta College\, an M.S. in Forestry from the University of Maine\, and J.D. from University of Cincinnati College of Law. Dave practiced environmental law for 25 years with Cors & Bassett\, LLC and has served on boards of several environmental organizations.

SUMMARY:Brookville Lake Area Waterfowl & Late Fall Migrants with Jay Stenger and Ryan Jorgensen
DESCRIPTION:Brookville Lake Area  \nWaterfowl & Late Fall Migrants \nDate: Sunday\, November 24\, 2023 \nCo-Leader: Jay Stenger\, (513) 522-8147\, jaystenger1@gmail.com \nCo-Leader: Ryan Jorgensen\, (630) 333-2631\, jorgensen28ryan@gmail.com \nMeet: 7:30 a.m. at the Park & Ride Lot at I-275 Exit # 7. See directions below. \nThe focus of this trip will be the fall waterfowl migration\, which should be near peak at this date. The general plan is to visit several spots around Brookville Lake and\, if time permits\, make the short hop over to Hueston Woods before returning home. Both of these locations are hotspots and are excellent for attracting waterfowl and water birds at this season. The rural countryside surrounding these two large lakes has diverse habitats so we expect to find a great variety and diversity of species throughout the day. In addition to many species of waterfowl (ducks & geese) we also expect to see loons\, grebes\, gulls\, Sandhill Cranes\, late shorebirds (such as Dunlin & Wilson’s Snipe)\, good numbers of Bald Eagles\, many hawks\, numbers of seasonal songbirds and much more. Rare species are always possible at this season. Prairie Falcon and Golden Eagle have been seen on this trip in past years. \nOur trip leaders\, Jay Stenger and Ryan Jorgenson are ASO board members and exceptional birders with excellent field skills. Jay also know the Brookville region intimately\, so we can expect to find a great diversity of seasonal species. This will be an auto type tour and will consist of driving from spot to spot\, interspersed with a few short easy walks. While this trip does entail considerable driving\, the rewards\, in terms of what we see\, always make this trip well worth the effort. \nThe trip will run into mid afternoon\, but of course you can leave at any time you like. Bring your lunch and drinks. It always seems colder around large lakes so dress accordingly. If you have a scope it will prove useful. Restrooms will be available throughout the day. One important note\, Indiana State Parks charges a daily per car entrance fee ($7 resident\, $9 non-resident). At this time of year there are usually no attendants on duty but we cannot be sure of that. If you have any questions about this trip feel free to contact Jay or Ryan at their contacts listed above. \nDirections: We will meet at 7:30 a.m. at the park & ride lot\, located right at the I-275 Exit # 7 at SR 128\, marked Cleves-Hamilton. This is the first exit just west of the Great Miami River at Miamitown. We will caravan from there to the Brookville area\, about a 30-minute drive.  \nFor a map and other info visit the Brookville Lake website at: \nhttp://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2961.htm \nVisit the Whitewater Memorial State Park (at Brookville Lake) website at: \nhttp://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2962.htm \nVisit the Hueston Woods SP website at: \nhttps://ohiodnr.gov/wps/portal/gov/odnr/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/hueston-woods-state-park \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger) \n
