    Your Role in the Watershed

    Every one lives in a watershed, and we all have a role in protecting our water resources. Small and incremental actions can add up to big effects on the health of our lakes and creeks.

It's good to procrastinate yard maintenance! Leave seed heads and stems for bird food and burrowing bee habitat over winter. You can clean up the plant debris in spring before they bloom again.

Are you wondering where the fall colors are? Drought can make fall colors a little bland. When trees are very stressed by drought, their leaves can turn brown and fall off before they can change their color. Minnesota had a very dry summer this year, see if you can see signs of drought in the fall colors around you. Photo: Nine Mile Creek, fall of 2020 by Katy J.

Be on the look out during fall migration! Many bird species like hummingbirds and this cute little oriole have already left the state for warmer weather in the south. But, Pine siskins, Chickadees, and Juncos will take their place.

Today marks the northern hemisphere's autumnal equinox! Did you know that "equinox" in Latin means "equal night"? Starting tomorrow, our 24hrs will be more dark than light. So get outside as much as you can! Photo: Schenk
