Raking #leaves destroys the #Ecosystem. Leave the leaves for #butterflies, #squirrels, #songbirds and many more animals.

Look up in the sky! It’s a bird 🐦It's a plane ✈️ It’s a…flying squirrel? New Jersey is home to two different species of these high-flying critters: the northern flying squirrel and the southern flying squirrel. Both are common but are rarely seen since they are nocturnal.

This NJ wildflower has a deceptive name: the fireweed! Despite its unusual moniker, this plant would be a colorful addition to any backyard or garden. Consider planting one today!

Summer vacation may be winding down, but we have the annual #monarch migration to look forward to. Every year, these gorgeous insects migrate up to 2,500 miles on their journey to Mexico. Stay tuned to learn more.🦋

Help the #monarch #butterfly. #Plant #milkweed, add some of your favorite native pollinator-friendly flowers (avoid pesticides) & you’ve done something wonderful for yourself, your home, community, & an endangered icon. Your beautification project might inspire others.
