SUMMARY:Tag Monarch Butterflies on their Way to Mexico This Weekend\, AOA Hintz Hollow Preserve\, Fairfield County
DESCRIPTION:  \nA key part of AOA’s mission is dedicated to inspiring a love of nature in future generations. As part of this effort AOA is sponsoring a citizen science event to track Monarch butterflies as they pass through our area on their way to their ultimate destination – Mexico! \n  \nWe will meet at the 220-acre Hintz Hollow Preserve in Fairfield County\, which is part of AOA’s Hocking River Conservation Corridor Initiative.  AOA has established habitats for pollinators and migratory butterflies in the former agricultural fields on this site. AOA board member Susan Clay will lead the tagging activities while enlightening us with interesting facts about Monarchs. \n  \nWe’ll have nets on hand for participants to capture wild monarchs for tagging. You can read more about the importance of this citizen science project at https://monarchwatch.org/tagging/. \n  \nThis is a family friendly event which will appeal to all ages – including the young and young at heart. It is free and open to the public.  Participants are welcome to stay and explore the beautiful Hintz Hollow Preserve site further following the tagging activities. \n  \nLink to Project Monarch App.  Project Monarch is a multi-organization collaboration following individual monarch butterflies through their entire multi-generational annual cycle\, using solar transmitters light enough for a butterfly to carry and a detection network that spans North America.  https://www.projectmonarch.org/#top \nNOTE:  The weather looks good at this point.  However\, this event could be postponed or cancelled for inclement weather as butterflies will not be active during rain.  If weather conditions are not conducive for the event\, attendees will be notified through their registration contact information. \n  \nTime:  The tagging activities will start at 1:00 and continue until we run out of tags or butterflies to tag. \n  \nWhat to Bring:  Drinks of your choice\, snacks\, lunch for those wanting to picnic on-site. Dress appropriately for walking in prairie fields. There will be mowed paths.  Hats and/or sunscreen are advisable. \n  \nInsect Repellants are Unsafe:  Insect repellant is usually recommended during tick season – but do not use repellant if you will be handling butterflies.  No insect repellants are safe to use during tagging activities.  Even small amounts from pet treatment can harm butterflies.  AOA will have gloves available for all to use to protect the butterflies from inadvertent contact. \n  \nRSVP Requested.  Participants are requested to RSVP for this event.  You can RSVP to Al Altfater by email at altfater@sbcglobal.net or by phone at 614.783.0220.  Please include the names\, phone numbers and emails for anyone you want to register for the event. \n  \nLocation:  Hintz Hollow Preserve is located in southern Fairfield County in the northern extent of the Hocking Hills landscapes.  It lies just north and east of Sugar Grove\, along Old Logan Road\, off Highway 33 and directly west of the Flight of the Hawk Park. We will enter from the rear gate to the property.  Turn west off Old Logan Road onto Brookdale Road SE.  Turn left onto South Street SE\, go to the end of the street and enter the Hintz Hollow Preserve through the entrance gate. Drive back to the old farmhouse where AOA volunteers will help to direct parking. You can follow AOA signs which will be placed at the road intersections. \n  \nGoogle Map Link to South Street Entrance:   \nhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/4498+South+St+SE\,+Lancaster\,+OH+43130/@39.6576917\,-82.5683561\,191m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x88478ca978c2338b:0x826abe357ddce27d!8m2!3d39.6576907!4d-82.5677124?entry=ttu \n

SUMMARY:Prairie Walk and Seed Collection Trella Romine Prairie\, Green Camp
DESCRIPTION:  \nEnjoy an autumn day outdoors in the field learning about our native landscapes while helping to make a difference!  Walk the trail and experience AOA’s Trella Romine Prairie while helping to collect native prairie seed.  Led by David Williams and Amanda Reuter\, activities will include a walk through the prairie\, identification of native prairie plant species and appropriate seed collection and storage techniques. \nWe will learn about our native grassland habitats while collecting seeds from a variety of native grass and prairie forb species growing on this site\, one of Ohio’s few remaining native prairie habitats\, now almost extirpated throughout its former range.  Collected seed will be used to support native plant restoration and reintroduction efforts at several AOA Preserves.  Seed from prairie plants at Trella Romine are particularly desirable for local restoration activities due to their Scioto River-Sandusky Plains heritage – resulting from the long-term plant conservation efforts undertaken by Trella Romine\, Gale Martin and dedicated Marion County Historical Society members and volunteers. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nLocation:  Trella Romine Prairie is located just south of Marion and just north of the Village of Green Camp at the intersection of Marion-Green Camp Road (Highway 739) and Larue-Prospect Road South (Highway 203).  See Google Maps link below.  Note\, there is no Google Maps street address for the property.   Parking is available adjacent to the Preserve gate.  Look for AOA’s chartreuse traffic cones and signs\, in addition to our parking staff. \nTime:  Meet at the prairie entrance at 1:00 p.m.  Look for AOA signs.  We expect to walk and collect for approximately 2 hours.  Feel free to participate for all or part of the time. \nWhat to Bring: Please come prepared and dress appropriately for the weather and walking through mature grasslands.  Long pants and sleeves and work gloves are recommended.  We will have some extra gloves.  Bug repellant is recommended.  Sunscreen may be desirable if we are lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny day.  Please bring your own drinks and/or snacks.  Water is not available on site.  Feel free to pack a lunch and picnic on site before we begin.  You may also want to bring a pair of binoculars for better viewing of the birds on the site or at the Big Island Wildlife Area adjacent to the Trella Romine property. \nGoogle Maps Link:   \nhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/Trella+Romine+Prairie/@40.5452948\,-83.2013775\,2992m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x8839190c2c99dc2f:0x55fe89b51d68161!8m2!3d40.5484751!4d-83.1913184!16s%2Fg%2F1pxy_wjky?entry=ttu
