The OSLT held our Annual Spring Walk on Saturday, April 1st at Michael J. Crotty Bicentennial Park. Our guide, Paul Rebmann, a Florida Master Naturalist and nature photographer, shared his vast knowledge of local native plants.

We walked the entire park from the Atlantic to the Halifax River and back. There were 12 attendees in all, a mixture of Ormond by the Sea locals and visitors from out of town and an enjoyable time was had by all. We thank everyone for attending.

IN THE LOOP - OSLT March Newsletter - Connecting With Nature

Issue No. 14 / March, 2024 Connecting with Nature Spring is here and the world is a buzz!  As you look around your own yard in preparation for spring activity, try to observe the natural relationships that exist between the plants, insects, animals and the greater environment as a whole.

Far too many of us have taken a "hands off" or "it's messy" approach to taking care of our yards, so let's reassess and commit to creating valuable habitats that support a multitude of living things in our own backyards!   How? If you have a large turf yard consider carving out some areas for native shrubs and other plantings that serve as ha...
