Politely BUZZ OFF & wait on that outdoor spring cleaning. Many bees are still hibernating.
70% of native bees nest underground & 30% lay eggs in cavities like hollow stems. Consider respecting the slumber of these vital pollinators & delaying yard work for a few more weeks. 🐝💤

I was reminded today about the problem of our uncertain baseline for what healthy horseshoe crab populations are.
These images from the Delaware Public Archives show the scale of harvesting when we used them for fertilizer up until the 1970s, before we began monitoring efforts.

#BoycottAlaskanRefugePirates - let’s not wait to see how bad it will, get, commit to boycott any energy companies that participate in Trump’s fire sale of oil leases in the Refuge.

Despite the extinction emergency, climate crisis & pandemic, Norway’s gov & whaling industry are encouraging more whale hunting & promoting the consumption of whale meat. We need to expose the untruths that this cruel & devastating industry is built upon > bit.ly/3ot8gsJ

State, Federal and Local agencies collaborating on this effort to put fire back on this landscape to maintain it. National #cohesivestrategy happening in our backyard. @US_Wildfire @FireScienceGOV @fireadaptednet #goodfire
The Myles Standish Complex is one of the few places on 🌐 to explore expansive, intact pine barrens. Learn how @MassDCR @MassDFG are restoring 2300+ acres to reduce wildfire risk, restore habitats & improve forest resiliency #ClimateAction #ForestryFriday bit.ly/2YXHQBV

Eastern box turtles are omnivores, and one study found that they eat over 130 different kinds of foods in the wild, including fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, worms, snails, small fish and even carrion!

To support pollinators, it’s not all about nectar sources and meadow management--native trees play a critical role as host plants in landscapes that sustain the entire life cycle. Oaks are used by over 500 butterfly and moth species! #PollinatorWeek bit.ly/2hcmrAg
