Thank you @FLStateParks for managing and conserving habitat for not only wild turkeys, prescribed chop x burn, burn only, trying to burn at appropriate intervals for imperiled flora and fauna, plant communities & habitats despite insufficient funding.

Thanks to conservation and wildlife management lands - they are the main place where I see wild turkeys. Please let USA continue its native ecosystems conservation and restoration.

[U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service @USFWS]

In the early 1900s, wild turkeys were nearly extinct. Thanks to conservation efforts, their population count today is approximately 6.9 million, with ranges expanding in many areas. Next time you spot a wild turkey, remember this amazing rebound!

Indeed!

[Friends of the Everglades @FoEverglades]

The Everglades — the ever-beating heart of Florida — are a symbol of resilience and life, constantly remaining through generations of battles. Let’s draw from that strength and remember we are resilient, too. 

Stay safe, Florida, and look out for one another.

@fl_native_plant I do not like the new logo’s font and Monstera is only in the south FL part of our state.

[Suzanne Kennedy @321sk]

This species, in one of the driest deserts, has fascinated me. Thank you @UF and @Soltislab for sharing fabulous photos.

[Soltis Lab @UF @soltislab]

Namibia. Wondrous Welwitschia. Hundreds of plants spread across the desert growing in areas ranging from sand to rocks. It has not rained appreciably here for ~ 5 Years
