Lyrae’s Nature Blog

Welcome to my first nature blog!  I created Lyrae’s Nature Blog to help me share my passion for science and nature writing.  This nature blog will cover topics such as native plants, invasive species, habitat loss, climate change, and more. I have a BSc, Honors, in Environmental Sciences, specializing first in Chemical Environmental Analysis and later in Botany and Ecology.  After my degree, I received professional certifications in Wetland Assessments, Riparian Areas Assessments, and Ecological Restoration. I have always loved science and writing scientific papers for school. Now I am venturing outside of my science bubble to try my hand at writing for a more general audience.  My goal is to share some of the wonderful knowledge I have gathered along my lifelong learning journey.  

Coming soon, I will publish my first article on the use of “invasive native” cattails to help with wetland and wastewater remediation. Soon after, I will publish my first ‘Native Plant of the Week’ blog. Each week I will describe a native North American plant, provide a photo(s), its range and status, and current or traditional uses. If you have any particular requests for topics related to the environment, plants, or ecology, please feel free to contact me. 

For More Information

Please contact me if you have any questions about my articles, suggestions for specific topics, or questions about my ecological consulting and survey services. Use the contact me page to send me your information and inquiry and I will do my best to respond within 48 hours.  

And finally, If you want to learn more about who I am, check out my Autobiography. Thank you for reading and I look forward to sharing more soon!
