These flowers are not only beautiful, but also provide much needed food and shelter for our beloved pollinator pals. If you're planning to come out for our blow gun program this Saturday, keep an eye out for the bees and butterflies that love these spaces!

Mothers Day is this Sunday, May 10th! Did you know that Etowah was a matrilineal society? This type of culture traces lineage via the mother as opposed to the father. While this isn't common practice in most of the United States today, there are still matrilineal societies around the world, including several indigenous groups such as the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw!

This Sunday, you can also join us for our Having Fun with Blow Guns program! Learn about the historic significance of the blow gun while making your own- you even get to practice shooting! This ranger-led program is designed for kids, but is fun for all ages. For more information, check out our events page on our website:

Did you know that May is Gardening for Wildlife Month? There are many ways to garden with wildlife in mind, but one of the easiest and most common is planting pollinator gardens!

Our pollinator garden contains a variety of plants that our local bees and butterflies love, including Asian butterfly bush, coneflowers, violets, and coreopsis.

We've got some great wildlife and flower-themed events happening this month, so stay tuned for those posts. And be sure to check out our pollinator garden when you visit- you never know what you might see!
