Woodlands Nature Station in LBL

We have AMAZING NEWS that we’re so happy to finally reveal: We have 4 red wolf puppies! Born on April 26, 2022, these pups (2 girls and 2 boys) joined the Nature Station staff of animal ambassadors. Follow us on Facebook for weekly “pupdates!”

Happy first day of Spring from the Woodlands Nature Station!

A little stinker and a wise guy! Already looking forward to @LBLNature next season!

We found this rarely seen but abundant tiny mammal during the LBL Bio Blitz. Short-tailed Shrews forage under leaf litter for insects, snails, mice, and even snakes! These social guys hunt using echolocation and venom. Their venom can be painful, but not harmful to humans.
