As we hear the phrase “Never Forget”, we will remember and honor the lives lost.

Hi everyone! Meet Deniz!✨
“An environmental change I would like to see in the community is an increased usage of native plants.
Using native plants, especially in places such as public parks or your backyard, would greatly benefit the local ecology. They are more drought tolerant ...so they consume less water and they help local pollinators and insects. Bees are an important factor in the environment and many plants rely on them for pollination. My favorite genus of plants is trillium.
They are spread in an interesting way-through ants-and can sprout in an ant nest. 🏔️🐜💨
I am currently working on a research project related to liverworts. Liverworts are an old lineage of plants that reproduce asexually. This semester, I will be harvesting different liverwort species from the East Bay (with a permit, of course). Professor Song, my Organismal Biology professor, will teach me how to deal with the data collected!” 🌱🐝 #savethebees
