Things are heating up! We are near the hottest part of the calendar year, and this week will be another warm one in the Northeast. All of the hot temperatures and sunny days are only making it livelier for butterflies, reptiles, wildflowers, dragonflies, feeding early migrant birds…there is a lot to see outdoors right now! Our staff is hard at work in active field projects across multiple states every day of the week, educating children of all ages as well as adults, discovering unexpected, rare or endangered life, and making a difference in pushing forward a passion for the environment in our communities. We encourage you to go outside this week and enjoy some of it. Take a vacation in your own yard or favorite patch and discover some life that you would never have expected to find.
