A Good Find

At the Forest to Frame event at Finch Arboretum, the trees themselves seemed to be part of the classroom.

Jeremy Schmidt, our Arborist Representative, set up his booth right beneath their canopy—Petri dishes neatly arranged, each one holding examples of leaf diseases and insects for curious young visitors to explore. As children gathered around, he handed out magnifying glasses, inviting them to look a little closer at the world most people pass by.

And they did.

One child wandered off, magnifying glass in hand, scanning bark, leaves, and branches with focused curiosity. Then came a call of excitement.

She had found something.

Jeremy walked over, and there it was—small, yellow clusters tucked carefully against the bark. Eggs. The kind most people would never notice.

But this was a good find.

They belonged to ladybugs—beneficial insects that help protect trees by feeding on pests. What might have looked small and insignificant was actually an important part of the ecosystem.

You could see it in that moment—the connection. A child discovering something real, something hidden, and understanding it mattered.

That’s what the day was about.

Not just teaching, but sparking curiosity. Not just looking, but truly seeing.

Because sometimes, all it takes is a magnifying glass—and a little encouragement—to discover something extraordinary.

🌿🦌 Deer Browsing: When Nature Meets the Landscape 🦌🌿

This photo says it all.

On the top: a carefully planted residential landscape being actively browsed by deer — labeled Problematic for good reason. Tender shrubs, flowers, and new growth are an easy buffet when food is scarce elsewhere.

On the bottom: deer grazing peacefully in an open meadow near natural water and forage — an Okay scenario where wildlife can feed without damaging ornamental plants or property.

🌱 Why it matters:
Deer will always seek out the most nutritious, accessible food. With habitat loss and urban expansion, landscaped yards often become unintended feeding zones. The result? Stressed plants, higher maintenance costs, and frustrated homeowners.

✅ What helps:
• Plant deer‑resistant species
• Use protective fencing or deterrents
• Design landscapes that balance beauty with wildlife awareness

Sharing space with wildlife starts with smart planning. Let’s keep gardens thriving and deer where they belong. 🦌🌳
