🦌 Keep the fawns on the lawns!

Baby deer season is here, and if you spot a fawn curled up alone in grass, landscaping, or even on your front porch, don't worry! Its mother is likely nearby.

Deer often leave their fawns hidden for hours while they forage, returning throughout the day to nurse and care for them. A fawn's spotted coat and instinct to remain still help keep it safe from predators.

If you find a fawn:
✅ Observe from a distance
✅ Keep pets away
❌ Don't touch, move, or pick it up
