300 Miles Away and Still Enjoying Oliver Nature Park

Thanks to iNaturalist, I am still enjoying Oliver Nature Park even though I now live 300 miles away. Having explored the park from its opening in January, 2014, through February, 2020, I feel as if I'm walking the trails and disovering the plants, insects, birds, etc. with you, the photographer. So, I thank you for participating in iNat and posting your observations here. When I lived in Mansfield, I maintained a list of the Flora of ONP. Just recently, I discovered a species that I had given an incorrect ID and added it to the list. If anyone would like to have that list, email me at suzetterogers@att.net. Warning: it's a l-o-n-g list. There are 589 documented species and 18 undocumented. Documented means photos are on iNat; undocumented means reported before this project was created. I look forward to seeing many more photos of the wonderful nature that occurs at ONP daily!
