The Nature Conservancy Tuesday aka “TNC Tuesday”
CAMN volunteers work at The Nature Conservancy office at 601 N. University on Tuesday mornings starting at 9:30 – noonish. Arrive when you want and leave when you want. There are several native plant gardens to be maintained. A new emphasis this year will be on the Zen Garden.
Also, our team may participate as land stewards starting in April doing Preserve work.
Three Conservancy locations that we can work as needed under direct supervision are:
Ranch North Woods: Behind the Ranch neighborhood, west of town off of Cantrell. Under Land Steward Caleb’s supervision, volunteers would work to control woody stems in the open fields (primarily Bradford pear), collect seed and spread seed in the grasslands. You may have the opportunity to see a prescribed burn.
Rattlesnake Ridge: Rattlesnake Ridge is part of the Maumelle Pinnacles, a rocky outcrop that is the edge of the Ouachita Mountains. Under supervision of Caleb, we would work on the trails and help close “social trails”, places where people take “short cuts”. We would work on controlling woody stems within the field to the right of the entrance road, and control invasive species (privet, mimosa, sericea lespedeza)
Blue Mountain: Blue Mountain is the next ridge over from Rattlesnake Ridge, also part of the Maumelle Pinnacles rock outcrop. Here we would want help with creating a species list using inaturalist and marking any non-natives observed.

Double-Drop Falls Trailhead
Bluffton Nature Preserve
Fri, Jul 18, 2025 at 9:00 AM
Meet at Double-Drop Falls Trailhead, Bluffton Nature Preserve at 9:00
Steve Bost (President and Founder of the Ozark Chinquapin Foundation) will be joining us for a site visit and wellness check of the Chinquapin sites at Bluffton Friday, 18 July at 9:00. We will meet at Double-Drop Falls Trailhead. This event will involve checking condition of the trees and possibly replacing some tree tubes with a more ventilated variety. Site visits will include behind Bluffton House, Plot 1 off the Bluffline Trail - West, and possibly the Shelf. Most access to the sites is easy with the Shelf location including some off-trail movement with incline. Please wear boots with decent ankle support and bring (and drink) water.
As an FYI, the old, dilapidated house at Bluffton burned down and the site has been graded. I visited with Doug Zollner and he noted that if we wanted to use the site as a planting location for natives or Chinquapins, we could do so. In addition, while heavy equipment was on-site, TNC also brought in rock, regraded the road down to the Archey and brought in very large rocks to delineate our native meadow in the valley.
We will also conduct a maintenance check on the weather station.
This event is mildly weather dependent - any updates will be posted early Friday morning.
A carpool/caravan option from Robert’s house will leave at 0800; please text the night before if interested.
A carpool/caravan option is also available from the Russellville/Dardanelle area; please contact Andrea Peterka for coordination at: 501.538.7771.
If you have any questions, please let me know either by email or phone at 501.733.4019.

Birds have their own unique forms and features, and learning to draw them is a challenge and joy. We will look at some tips and guidelines for drawing birds, including types of observations that help with identification and drawing (such as GISS, or General Impression of Size and Shape). Then there‘s a guided drawing/painting activity where, if possible, we will work from a live bird. This class is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who have done some drawing.
No supplies are required, but if you are encouraged to bring drawing supplies of your own if you wish. There will be paper, pencils, and pens as well as watercolors for those who are interested.
This class will be taught by Anne Greenwood, a member of DLAMN and an accomplished nature journalist.

Join Dr. Dustin Lynch (Chief of Research, ANHC) for a talk on fish native to Arkansas. We will hear his lecture at the Van Buren Public Library in Clinton. Everyone is welcome. After lunch, registered participants will travel as a group to Bluffton for a snorkel trip in the Archey Fork. We may get to see the federally endangered Yellowcheek Darter if we are lucky. Due to the protected status of this fish, we can only allow 15 people* in the water to reduce habitat disturbance. YOU MUST REGISTER to get in the water, so sign up now to save your spot. NiTs get first priority on spots, but as we get closer, established Master Naturalists may fill in open spaces.
*Number subject to change if Dr. Lynch determines we need to adjust.
Please be prepared and bring along appropriate clothing for getting in and out of the water. FAMN will provide some snorkels and masks for NiTs - please register early so we can buy an appropriate number! If you have your own gear, bring it along.

Mack Calvert, a graduate student at UCA, will give a lecture on non-perennial stream ecology. In his words, "intermittent or non-perennial streams only flow seasonally or after rainfall and play a crucial role in water quality, groundwater recharge, and ecosystem health. They represent 60% of stream miles in the US, and in a recent supreme court case (Sackett vs EPA 2023) lost their protection under the Clean Water Act. In my presentation I talk about their biota, geomorphology, threats due to climate change, and the legal struggle surrounding them."
After the lecture, we‘ll have our business meeting and a potluck lunch. Bring something to share if you can! Reusable dishes are also recommended.

The Nature Conservancy Tuesday aka “TNC Tuesday”
CAMN volunteers work at The Nature Conservancy office at 601 N. University on Tuesday mornings starting at 9:30 – noonish. Arrive when you want and leave when you want. There are several native plant gardens to be maintained. A new emphasis this year will be on the Zen Garden.
Also, our team may participate as land stewards starting in April doing Preserve work.
Three Conservancy locations that we can work as needed under direct supervision are:
Ranch North Woods: Behind the Ranch neighborhood, west of town off of Cantrell. Under Land Steward Caleb’s supervision, volunteers would work to control woody stems in the open fields (primarily Bradford pear), collect seed and spread seed in the grasslands. You may have the opportunity to see a prescribed burn.
Rattlesnake Ridge: Rattlesnake Ridge is part of the Maumelle Pinnacles, a rocky outcrop that is the edge of the Ouachita Mountains. Under supervision of Caleb, we would work on the trails and help close “social trails”, places where people take “short cuts”. We would work on controlling woody stems within the field to the right of the entrance road, and control invasive species (privet, mimosa, sericea lespedeza)
Blue Mountain: Blue Mountain is the next ridge over from Rattlesnake Ridge, also part of the Maumelle Pinnacles rock outcrop. Here we would want help with creating a species list using inaturalist and marking any non-natives observed.

This rocky creek is close to the Baxter County dump that was closed due to leakage. It flows into Norfork Lake.
If coming from Mt. Home you can take Hwy 201 North to CR 25 (just before the Humane Society Thrift store) and turn left. Follow it to CR 27 and turn right to the creek at the low water bridge. You will encounter lots of curves but blacktop. If coming from Hwy 5N go south to Walker Rd (directly before Roller Cemetery). Turn left and then turn right onto CR 27. Follow it to Little Pigeon Creek at the low water bridge.
If coming from Yellville/Flippin/Cotter:
Drive east on Hwy 62/412. At Gassville, turn north (left) onto Hwy 126. Continue straight onto Hwy 5N at Midway (the Midway School House Antiques). Approximately 1.3 miles past the intersection of Hwy 5 and Hwy 126 (Dollar Store) turn right onto CR 13. Follow CR 13 about 0.7 miles then turn left onto CR 27. Follow CR 27 about 2.3 miles to the creek. (You will cross CR 25 and the road will turn to gravel about a mile before the creek).

The Nature Conservancy Tuesday aka “TNC Tuesday”
CAMN volunteers work at The Nature Conservancy office at 601 N. University on Tuesday mornings starting at 9:30 – noonish. Arrive when you want and leave when you want. There are several native plant gardens to be maintained. A new emphasis this year will be on the Zen Garden.
Also, our team may participate as land stewards starting in April doing Preserve work.
Three Conservancy locations that we can work as needed under direct supervision are:
Ranch North Woods: Behind the Ranch neighborhood, west of town off of Cantrell. Under Land Steward Caleb’s supervision, volunteers would work to control woody stems in the open fields (primarily Bradford pear), collect seed and spread seed in the grasslands. You may have the opportunity to see a prescribed burn.
Rattlesnake Ridge: Rattlesnake Ridge is part of the Maumelle Pinnacles, a rocky outcrop that is the edge of the Ouachita Mountains. Under supervision of Caleb, we would work on the trails and help close “social trails”, places where people take “short cuts”. We would work on controlling woody stems within the field to the right of the entrance road, and control invasive species (privet, mimosa, sericea lespedeza)
Blue Mountain: Blue Mountain is the next ridge over from Rattlesnake Ridge, also part of the Maumelle Pinnacles rock outcrop. Here we would want help with creating a species list using inaturalist and marking any non-natives observed.
Please contact Nancy Wyatt with questions.
