Bird Walks in the Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab

Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab 3200 Cold Spring Road, Indianapolis, IN, United States

The Marian University Nina Mason Pulliam EcoLab is a wonderful place to bird watch, with over 165 different species sighted since 2000. The property contains a landscape designed by famous landscape architect Jens Jensen in 1911. The result of that design is a high quality natural area with lots of wetland, grassland, and lowland forest habitat. It’s a historical and ecological gem in the middle of the city! We will meet near the entrance to Allison Mansion at 8:00 a.m. every Wednesday. Parking is no trouble if you arrive just before 8:00 a.m. Bring binoculars and shoes that you don’t mind getting wet if it has rained recently.

Coffee – A History and Conservation

Holliday Park Nature Center 6363 Spring Mill Road, Indianapolis, IN, United States

Jessica Helmbold, ABAS Education Chair, loves coffee. Most people love coffee, though are most people as obsessed with coffee as she is? Jessica presents the history of coffee, and how to select and brew the best coffees. Clearing land for the production of staple crops such as bananas, pineapples, and coffee is one of the biggest threats to our rainforests. Coffee can grow in harmony with the rainforest. Learn how the small choices we make can make a difference. We will also sample different varieties of Rainforest Alliance coffees. Join us!
