Welcome!
Welcome to common_nature!
I am one of your glorious moderators,melannen. Your other glorious moderator is elke_tanzer. We made this community because we wanted a place on Dreamwidth to talk about nature, and we hope other people will find it a nice place to stay, too.
What sort of posts are welcome here? Well, I'm planning to start a series of posts about identifying the weeds and shrubs that are flowering in lawns and roadsides in my area. I'll also probably post book reviews and poems and photographs.elke_tanzer has wonderful posts coming up, too. Ask questions, mention something you saw outside today or something you saw in the press; icon posts, fiction with a focus on nature, how-tos, art - all is good! We're all about celebrating the fact that nature is everywhere and anyone can be a naturalist, no matter who they are or where they live.
In the meantime, let's do introductions! If you'd like, tell us a little bit about how you relate to nature and what you'd like to see this community become. And tell us something about what sort of nature you see around you - where do you look when you want to commune with nature? What climate zone or Biome do you live in? I'll start in the comments.

I'm 10 miles from the North Sea (cold even in summer) and maybe 40 miles from the top end of the Pennines, the line of hills (of which some are technically mountains) that runs down the centre of the country, so I have huge diversity right on my doorstep.
In my own garden I mostly have weeds, but we also get a lot of birds. I have this grand (and currently, entirely theoretical) plan about remodelling my garden so it's both easy-care and wildlife-friendly.
The icon is somewhat misleading, as it's actually been rather nice this weekend.

Your icon may not be appropriate for *your* weekend weather, but you can claim you're using it honor of us on the other side of the Atlantic. :D (Flooding. Flooding *everywhere*.)
