📸 Nature Photography Day
Every frame is a reminder of how much life thrives when we simply stop and look. Today’s moment: a sun‑soaked log shared by a few peaceful pond dwellers.

🚨 Turtle nesting season is here!
All of CT’s turtles — not just snappers — are crossing roads to lay eggs.
We found one crushed on Flanders Rd this week.
Please slow down, especially near wetlands, and help them cross if it’s safely. Protecting our wildlife matters.
