Welcome back to HabiChat!
Summer is here, Habichatters!
In honor of the pleasant spring and summer start we’ve had in 2024, our team has combined our forces to give you one warm season issue so you have plenty of extra time to get outside. We hope you enjoy a Native Animal Profile about an author favorite- the Appalachian cottontail- paired with a Native Plant Profile on the glories of Maryland orchids. Paula Becker has contributed some hot tips on gardening without pesticides, and Edwin Guevara has lots of suggestions for ways to engage with community science and wildlife in your community. Enjoy!
