Bonsai in Raptor Roost?

A fellow bonsai club member noticed some bonsai-like plants inside the raptor's cages at the Zoo.  Apparently, they're in deep pots, almost like training pots.  I guess on Monday after Nature's Notebook, I'll go over and see what's going on there.  

Meanwhile, over in the Botanic Garden, our efforts to create a permanent bonsai display in the Sasebo Japanese Garden are moving slowly.  We await feedback from Tanaka-san.

Back to Nature's Notebook, the group is concerned about construction in the Heritage Farm and the possible rerouting of the Duranes ditch through the CWG.  In an effort to raise awareness of the value of our citizen-science work in the CWG, I've been corresponding with Erin Posthumous in Tucson.  She runs our regional National Phenology Network program.  

We're hoping to write a piece for the BioScape quarterly magazine and a whitepaper for BioPark management.  We'll see what comes out of the process.
