Erosion control blankets provide cover and support for new plants at our project sites 🌱 In 2020, we switched from plastic to natural fibers (like jute), preventing the use of 64K pounds of single-use plastic in 2021! This also helps protect wildlife from getting entangled 🐸

Can you guess how many Blanding’s turtles we sampled this year? If you guess this tiny turtle’s sample number, we won’t send you anything, but it will be amazing!

The Smooth Green snake is found in multiple Midwest states. 🐍 These bright, scaly friends are found in moist grassy areas and are a species of concern in several states. Sadly, numbers are declining due to habitat loss & the use of pesticides. #HerpHighlight 📷: Jonathan Mays

This is a pretty one :) The Madrean Mountain Kingsnake is found in wooded areas of the southeastern corner of the state. This one with a higher than usual amount of black band along its dorsum, is extra nice.
