As we shake off winter, you might be starting to think up garden plans. We certainly are!

We encourage planting native flowers at home because they support the birds, bees, and butterflies in our neighborhood that need our help.

[The Conservation Foundation @TCFHeron]

If you always wanted to start landscaping with native plants and didn't know where to start, this is the webinar to watch. Follow along with us as we redesign garden beds at our office! https://t.co/xAoJ0jpHmg

@kevhughes34 Yep! Our coyote guest is making the resident deer feel a little uneasy

[The Conservation Foundation @TCFHeron]

When living in close quarters with people, coyotes tend to be more active at night. But President/CEO Brook McDonald spotted this coyote outside his office during the day! That's probably because there's plenty of space away from pesky people at the farm. 😉
