We’re looking forward to a busy and exciting spring season. We hope you’ll find something inspiring, intriguing or just plain fun in this issue of Field Notes – something that will get you up to Cedar Creek to enjoy the new season with our scientists, staff, naturalists and students! Maybe it’s bison, maybe it’s climate change, maybe it’s forestry or sandhill cranes or plant water use: no matter what, we’d love to see you!

As always, we welcome your stories, photos and feedback. You’ll notice that this issue of the newsletter has several pieces submitted by visitors. Interested in sharing your story? Send it my way!
