🎃 Don’t Toss That Pumpkin!

Before you pitch those Halloween pumpkins, consider giving them a second life! Many local farms and wildlife rescues can use unpainted & freshly carved pumpkins to feed animals.

Wildlife like deer, squirrels, birds, and even opossums love a pumpkin snack and it keeps food waste out of the landfill! Skip the trash bin this year! Donate your pumpkins to a nearby farm or wildlife facility, or leave them in your yard (away from your home) for critters to enjoy. 🍂🐿️

Just remember: Painted, moldy, or bleached pumpkins aren’t safe for animals, so keep it natural! 💚

If you are a rescue or farm in Georgia who would like pumpkin donations, feel free to drop a note in the comments and include what city you are in.

Wildlife Safety Tip (or un-tip in this case)!

Did you know you can buy caps to replace the sharp spikes on top of wrought iron fences? Those decorative points might look fancy but they can cause serious injuries to wildlife like owls, hawks, and deer trying to perch, or pass through. Deer frequently become impaled when jumping these fences. It’s a heartbreaking and preventable accident.

You can find protective fence caps online or at most hardware stores (Amazon, Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc.). They pop right on and instantly make your fence safer without changing the look too much!

A simple fix that can prevent a lot of pain for both wildlife and your heart. 💚

Small change. Big difference.

Please make a call to speak up for the owls. It only takes a minute. Every call is counted!

URGENT ACTION ALERT! A new government plan would allow people to shoot and kill 450,000 barred owls across 14 national parks to save spotted owls. The Senate will vote on this. We are asking Jon Ossoff to support S.J. Resolution 69 that would protect North American barred owls and prevent the misuse of the Endangered Species Act. PLEASE CALL TODAY!

The message is simple, just say: please vote YES on S.J. Resolution 69 to stop the slaughter of owls.

Jon Ossoff: (202) 224-3521

Killing one animal to save another isn't conservation, it's cruelty. Please make a one-minute call for the owls!
