Humber Arboretum Atlas June Highlights
June holds the longest day of the year, or the summer solstice, which officially marks the start of summer. With every new season comes new changes in nature. Let’s take a look at the observations that were made at The Humber Arboretum for the Humber Arboretum Atlas Project!
Insects and critters seemed to be super abundant this month at the Arboretum. An Eastern Eyed Click Beetle was spotted by adventuresofnicola.

There are many invasive species that can be found in the Arboretum, and many were spotted this past month. Garlic Mustard was observed by Shoma Chalmers (shona), and Dame’s Rocket was observed by Avita Ragnauth (avita_inherhabitat).
Flowers are quite easy to spot in summer, so there were quite a few that were observed. Both the Meadow Anemone and the Meadow Buttercup were found by Mike Naumoff.

A big thank you to the contributors this month. Keep exploring, we can’t wait to see what you find in July!
