Conservation doesn’t stop at the borders of our parks. The future of pollinators, birds, and native wildlife depends on connected habitats—and that means our backyards matter too. Every native flower planted, every patch of habitat restored, helps create a healthier ecosystem right here in our community.

Whether you have a sprawling garden or just a small corner to plant, you can make a difference.

Join us at our Native Plant Sale tomorrow and start your journey toward creating habitat at home!

🦌 Please Leave Fawns Alone ❌
Each year well meaning people come across a sight like this and think something is wrong. This is completely normal behavior for a deer fawn, and human intervention is unnecessary.
⭐ The More You Know 🌈
⏺️ Fawns are born nearly scentless (so predators cannot find them easily). They also have spots that serve as camouflage and are able to stand soon after being born, but as a protective tactic will remain hidden.
⏺️ It is common for female deer in urban areas to place fawns around homes, backyards, or flower beds. The mother placed it there because she felt it would be safe (often intentionally near humans).
⏺️ To protect her fawn, the mother will spend very little time with it. This is to prevent attracting predators to the fawn’s location. She will leave her fawn in various hiding places for long periods of time, returning several times a day to nurse it. By staying away, the mother is protecting it.
⏺️ Fawns will begin following their mothers at four weeks old. When they are two months old, fawns are able to forage for themselves and are completely weaned from their mother.
