Environment, Conservation, Litter

Let's clean up our local environment so we can continue to talk about birds.

We’ve got to talk trash. Each year, the amount of litter on our roadsides continues to increase. Unless it’s cleaned up, there’s a pretty decent chance that the debris is going to make it’s way into a nearby storm drain and ultimately, enter our waterways.

Be part of the solution, not the pollution.

The pandemic has introduced a serious increase of single-use face masks, rubber gloves, face shields, takeout containers, alcohol bottles, shipping packaging, plastic bags, cleaning wipes, and other items into our local environment.

In honor of National Pollinator Week (June 22-28, 2020) I wanted to share some of the things I have learned about pollinator animals and the importance of supporting them and the ways you can help from your very own home, no matter how big or small.

On the topic of re-purposing, I wanted to show you how to turn your old newspapers into seed starter pots. After all, it is Springtime and the best part about Spring is watching nature come to life! It’s even more special when you watch something come to life that started as a tiny seed.

Conservation, Environment, Habitat

In addition to protecting the coast, sand dunes are also an important habitat for plants and animals. For example, sand dunes are a critical breeding habitat to Piping Plovers. But, according to the National Audubon Society, Piping Plovers are considered threatened or endangered. This is the result of destroying sand dunes to make room for parking and other popular beach attractions.
