🎃🌿 Have you spotted a Chronolog camera lurking around MSU’s campus? 👻📸

Beal Botanical Garden and the College of Arts & Letters have teamed up for a three-year-long project inviting the community to document how our environment transforms over time! 🌱 From spooky seasonal shifts to plants changing colors and wildlife making their moves, your photos help capture the magic of nature through the seasons. 🍂✨

We’re bringing this project back into the spotlight after a year and a half, and we’d love for you to join in on the fun! Keep your eyes peeled for Chronolog stations around campus, including Sanford Natural Area, Baker Woodlot, and three locations at Beal Botanical Garden: Riverside, Pollinator, and Overview.

🕸️ See a Chronolog station? Don’t ghost it! Take a photo, upload it to Chronolog's website, and help us track nature’s transformations over time.

🌿🍂 Join us for the Beal Garden SustainaBEALity Volunteer Extravaganza!

📢 This event was rescheduled to Friday, October 23, 10am-1pm, due to last week's inclement weather!

Come lend a hand at MSU Beal Botanical Garden and help us care for our green spaces. No experience necessary - we’ll teach you everything you need to know! 💚 You also don’t need to stay for the full three hours, so stop by whenever you can.
