It’s that time of year again – the forest is filled with fawns! There’s a good chance you’ve already come across one of our little spotted deer friends this season, and we’ve got some critical advice and resources for you so you can help keep them safe.

We’ve opened up a new fawn hotline that puts you directly in contact with our fawn specialist, Jessica Metzger, who has years of experience rehabilitating fawns and beyond. You can reach her at 570-979-1363 and she will be happy to answer any questions.

It is critical that you reach out before taking action to interact with a fawn. In many cases it may appear a fawn is in need of assistance, when in fact they are simply waiting for their mother to return. Jessica has this wisdom to share.

Native plants + leaf litter + water. Three ingredients that turn a yard into a functioning habitat.

Everything else — the fireflies, the nesting birds, the ground beetles, the bees, the butterflies, the toads — follows from those three.

🌿 Native plants provide the food web. They support the caterpillars that feed the birds, the pollen that feeds the bees, and the structure that provides cover and nesting. A single native tree hosts dramatically more insect life than any ornamental.

Leaf litter provides the nursery. Firefly larvae develop in it. Moth pupae overwinter in it. Bumblebee queens hibernate in it. Remove it and every one of those species loses its habitat.

Water provides the anchor. A shallow dish on the ground — one inch deep, a few stones for standing — draws more species than any feeder.

🐾 You don't need acreage. You don't need expertise. You don't need a budget.

Three native plants. One undisturbed patch of leaves. One shallow dish of water.

Today is Biodiversity Day. The habitat builds itself from three ingredients 🌿
