Dimple Dell Preservation Community

We had a nice turnout for the “Rocks and Water in Dimple Dell” presentation. Everyone enjoyed breaking rocks open to see what was inside. There was an exploration of the effect of different sized hammers. A few rocks we tested wouldn’t crack even for a 2.5 pound hammer.

We were able to identify sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. It was fascinating to see the different layers. We also considered the role that water plays in bringing rocks down to the park from the Wasatch mountains and then moving them through park to the west side.

Please plan to join us on Tuesday, July 14, 2026 at 6:30 PM for the next talk on Nature in Dimple Dell.

Bee Swarm Education Night- May 12 • 6:30 PM
Historic Muir/Poulsen Orchard Outdoor Classroom

The Dimple Dell Preservation Community has invited the Wasatch Bee Keepers Association for a special community education evening about bee swarms and pollinator awareness.

Presenters Jen Hien and Jenny Denarzio — who regularly teach educational programs for local elementary students — will share information about why bees swarm, what to do if you encounter a swarm, and why bees are so important to our ecosystem.

Come enjoy a spring evening outdoors while learning more about these important pollinators.

Did you know? Bees commonly swarm in May when they outgrow their hive or lose their queen.

We need to make a valve box with an unusual shape and depth. We would appreciate a donation of a large sturdy bucket with a lid. The photos suggest what would be helpful.

Thank you so much to all of the families that came out yesterday to help plant trees, create wood chip berms, and dig out a new pollinator bed! We were able to accomplish an incredible amount in the orchard at the historic Muir-Poulsen home. Also a big shout out to the Park Lane Elementary School families that came out in support, even as they fight to keep their school open. Go Panthers! We wish you luck!

Earth Day Cleanup starts at 8:30 AM at the Dimple Dell Horse Parking Lot & Trailhead (2765 E. Dimple Dell Rd).

Please bring gloves and any tools you have- shovels are especially helpful.

Even an hour helps. Hope to see you there!
