Timeline PhotosWhen did we start to call a perfectly healthy yard 'messy' ? And who was the first person who told us we needed a fall 'clean up'? For our birds, and other wildlife, natural yards are essential. Clean up your terrace and drive way, but leave the leaves elsewhere and wait with the removal of dead wood and seed heads until later in spring, or leave it altogether, just as nature already is doing for millions of years. THANK YOU! www.healthyyards,org

Attention art enthusiasts/collectors! The Wildlife Preservation Fund is holding an online fundraising auction for "an original acrylic artwork titled ‘Bumble Bee I’. This one-of-a-kind artwork is inspired by the yellow-banded bumble bee, a once plentiful pollinator in Canada, but now on the decline. Myriam (Rousseau) created this piece in the hopes that proceeds will be used towards conservation programs for species at risk like our native pollinators."![]()
