Did you know?
-Barred Owls may eat up to 1,000 rodents a year. They provide pest control and you do not have to pay them a dime!
-Eastern Grey Squirrels bury thousands of nuts a year. Some of those nuts grow into trees. They are also a food source to other animals. Squirrels are a good example of helping keep the ecosystem balanced!
-Rough Green Snakes eat mostly insects and spiders. They also eat garden pests to help give your plants a better chance to grow!
-Raccoons serve as a clean up crew by eating dead animal carcasses (if they are fresh enough) and fallen fruit. They help slow the spread of disease. They also have five fingers on their front paws!
Why care about wildlife? Some are considered pests including the ones mentioned in this post, but they do serve a purpose to the environment. They can also unintentionally help humans in some ways. One of those ways is just being there to see in nature. We are grateful to be a place where people can come to and potentially see wildlife. We hope to be a place for people to come to learn and just simply enjoy.
