Sorry, but if you ask me to talk about #nomowmay you’re probably going to get a longer answer than you bargained for. Dandelions aren’t going to save the bees. We need to do more than stop mowing for a month. https://t.co/mGLuBdi0NI Let’s rename it: #rethinkyouryardMay

FLAP volunteer Laurna was concerned after seeing birds colliding with her neighbor’s glass railings, so she offered her services to make them bird-safe with an oil-based paint marker. We love the result! Bird-safe glass can be so beautiful.

#Halloween is approaching! @smknigh and Megan Quinn with @NCC_CNC say some "spooky species" are are misunderstood. Instead of being afraid of these species, such as bats and wolves, we should be afraid for their survival and support #conservation. https://t.co/7ymv6ywk2o

Just watched a hermit thrush get startled by a dog and head straight towards these windows. Then watched it veer back into the raised planter bed-it saw the window treatment! Yes! They really, really do work when properly applied.
