🚩ICYMI: There's been a discovery of a tiny hornless deer that lived in SD 32 million years ago! These "Santuccimery" deer likely made NNFG's grasslands, as well as where they were discovered in @BadlandsNPS, home! Read more here 👉🏼 https://t.co/xptVESvdGH

For National #WildflowerWeek, the range department at the Bessey Ranger District spread 158lbs of NE forb seed on the Bovee fire scar. The seed - purchased from a NE provider - contained ten different native species including: wild bergamot, showy milkweed, and purple coneflower.

Be careful around this flower! 🌵 Purple Pincushions bloom with bright pink to red/purple flowers throughout the spring months of May & June. Pincushions bear small fruits through the summer - though the fruits are small - they can be a food source for wildlife & humans.

#WildflowersWeek: Sunflowers! 🌻 Found across the Midwest is the Maximilian & Common sunflower. European explorers took sunflowers back to their countries after encountering them in North America. They were bred into the “giant” sunflower heads we see in crop fields today.

Happy #WildflowerWeek 💮! The Tufted Evening Primrose thrives in the arid prairie climate, its blossoms opening primarily at night to attract nocturnal pollinators. Humans have even discovered the healing properties of this fragrant flower's roots can relieve swelling!

It's National Wildflowers Week! 🌼🌻 Wildflowers help sustain native ecosystems, contribute to clean air and water, food for humans & wildlife, and aid in creating products we use such as medicines & dyes. May this be a reminder to get 💐 for Mom today! (If that's her thing).

Migratory birds bring biodiversity by spreading seeds along their migration routes, offer enhanced pest control when they return, and some even contribute to the pollination of plants! Thank a migratory bird today 🦆

Introducing: The Barred Tiger Salamander! Its superpower is that they are capable of becoming a terrestrial adult OR stay aquatic & still reach maturity! Species that do this are known as neotenic- meaning they retain their gills & remain aquatic into adulthood. #AmphibianWeek
