Spring is in bloom at Bernheim Forest. Did you know? Bernheim’s magnolias are some of the most beautiful in the nation. We have proof — just ask the American Public Gardens Association, which just recognized the collection.
See them in person by taking a visit to the 16,000+ acres of wild forest. While you’re at it, here are upcoming events to help you celebrate spring:
For the bird brains — Whether you’re new to birding or a seasoned birder trying to convert their friends, check out Birding for Beginners on Saturday, March 22, 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

It really does feel like spring has sprung. But maybe that’s just the later sunsets talking.
We asked our followers if they preferred the later sunsets or want an hour of sleep back. We think Instagram-user @l.b0 put it perfectly: “The hour of sleep and it not being dark at 6am. Kthx.”
