Tulsa Audubon's TogetherGreen Volunteer Day at Oxley On Jan. 31 we had 105 people come out to Oxley to perform several habitat projects as part of Tulsa Audubon TogetherGreen program. We had four groups working. Science students from Jenks High School worked on the invasive wisteria growing in the woods west of the Oxley Interpretive Building. A group from AmeriCorps headed to the North Woods to dig up invasive Liriope, or Monkey Grass. And two Girl Scout troops worked on installing 25 Bluebird houses. Below is a short video of the days activities. Visit Tulsa Audubon's web site for more pictures from the day, and information on the TogetherGreen program.

Click here for latest photos of the renovation including the new exhibits Due to the Interpretive Building renovations the staff is still working out of the Mohawk Park country store located across the street from the Tulsa Zoo. Programming and tours continue as usual. However the renovations, begun in January 2008, are 99% complete, resulting in a practically brand new facility with many upgrades and changes. The new new exhibits funded the the Friends of Oxley have been installed. The official reopening will occur in mid February. Watch here for an announcement.

We are Looking for a Few Good Naturalists!
Spring will soon be in the air!
Join our team of dedicated volunteers
What better time to try something new? The trees will be bursting with buds. Forest violets will be peeking up above the leaf litter. Birds and frogs will be singing their courtship songs. Share this awakening with others. If you enjoy being outdoors sharing nature with children, join us for our training program. Our 4 week training session begins March 3 and ends March 27. Training sessions are two days a week from 9:00 a.m.-12 noon. Training is fun, and will familiarize you with our trail system and its varied natural communities: forests, wetlands, and prairies. Following training, you will join other naturalists, each guiding a small group of children, for an hour or two one morning a week from April through May. If you are 18 or older, please call us for more information. No previous experience is necessary. 918-669-6644
