Thursday is the last day to pre-purchase native plants to be picked up at the Open House Native Plant Sale on Saturday, April 27 at Blue Heron Nature Preserve!

This sale will highlight nectar-producing plants that provide resources for hummingbirds like our ambassador bird Sibley, including everyone's favorite milkweed, Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa). You probably know that milkweeds are the host plant for Monarch butterflies, but did you know that this drought tolerant perennial also provides important resources to birds? Hummingbirds drink its nectar, warblers and thrushes feed on the aphids it attracts, sparrows and finches forage on its seed pods, and breeding birds feed the high-protein Monarch caterpillars to their nestlings. A relatively care-free plant, Butterfly Weed grows well in full sun and dry soil.

Several species have already sold out, so pre-order today!

"The inscriptions were written in the Cherokee syllabary, a writing system that was formally adopted by the Cherokee just three years prior in 1825. It quickly allowed a majority of the tribe to become literate in their own language, and the Manitou Cave inscriptions are among a few rare examples of historic Cherokee writing recently found on the walls of caves." #histpres #archaeology

Roswell Recreation, Parks, Historic and Cultural Affairs

Attention Riverwalk and Old Mill Visitors: The City of Roswell will be completing construction on two areas of the boardwalk beginning Monday. These projects will last roughly 2 weeks, weather permitting, and are expected to be completed mid-April. Please see below for details of operation during this time.

On Monday, April 1, the boardwalk section of the Roswell Riverwalk located at the back entrance to the Chattahoochee Nature Center to Willeo Park will have contractors on-site finishing some punch list items. During this time, the boardwalk will remain open to the public. With the Riverwalk’s popularity and use, congestion may occur during working hours of 7am-5pm, Monday thru Saturday.

On Monday, April 1, the boardwalk section on the west side of the covered bridge will be temporarily closed to the public. Contractors will be installing some additional drainage, as well as moving in some old equipment from the original mill site, which will be on display for park visitors.
