Community Calendar

Join LTC environmental education staff at the Charlevoix Public Library for an evening with the wildflowers that close out northern Michigan's growing season in gold and purple. Goldenrods and asters are easy to overlook but they represent one of the most ecologically productive moments of the entire year, a final surge of nectar and pollen that sustains numerous animals that rely on them. We'll look closely at how to tell goldenrod species apart, why asters and goldenrods so often grow together, and what these late-season blooms reveal about the health of a meadow, roadside, or field. Registration is not necessary.

The 2^nd annual Long Lake Farmers Market will kick off on June 4^th and run every Thursday through October 1^st from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Stop by the market located at Haywood Park, due east of the Long Lake Township Hall at 8870 N Long Lake Rd, Traverse City, Michigan 49685, near the bocce ball courts.

We are excited to create a community-based farmers market that celebrates the historic agricultural traditions of Long Lake Township, while providing opportunities for Long Lake residents and the surrounding community members to buy and sell locally grown and produced products.
