Beat the Heat: Providing Water for Wildlife 💦🐥 As the summer sun blazes and temperatures soar to unprecedented heights, it’s not just people who are feeling the heat. ☀️ Wildlife in our gardens, parks, and natural spaces are also struggling to stay cool and hydrated. During these sweltering months, providing water sources for wildlife in your garden is certainly a compassionate act, but also an essential one. By taking a few simple steps, you can make an impact on the survival of local wildlife species and get certified as a Certified Wildlife Habitat® in the process. 🏡 Learn why water matters to wildlife and how to help 📲: https://ow.ly/EUqt50SOoFI #wildlife #garden #nature #heat #water #habitats

So Many Fish, Bearly Any Success 🐻 What happens when a brown bear sees red? 🚨 Kate and Adam Rice of KAR Photography snagged their prizewinning photo of a brown bear fishing—but not catching—sockeye salmon in Alaska’s Katmai National Park & Preserve. The bear wasn’t having the perfect day. “Bears typically fish in shallower water, where they can trap fish against rocks,” Adam says. “But this bear just couldn’t help himself. He’d run down the bank and belly-flop in." 💦 Want to know more?

"In with the old, out with the new" - Old Growth Forests 🌲 We all know the intangible benefits that old-growth forests provide: they inspire artists, poets, writers, and photographers– and are places for solace, reflection, spirituality, and healing. But older forests also supply numerous tangible benefits, such as clean drinking water for millions of people, habitat for more than 3,000 species of wildlife and plants, and the ability to absorb carbon, which helps address the climate crisis. Learn why we must manage old-growth forests for the future 📲: https://ow.ly/I4QS50SOnXB #wildlife #forests #ecosystems #nature #conservation
