@ChrisRhoda @Andrea_DuBoulay @outdoor_ed This condo still has lots of vacancy. But when bats are using a box or condo you can see them coming and going. Don’t think these bats leave in large groups like other species though.

@N8ureNate @ChrisRhoda @Andrea_DuBoulay @outdoor_ed @Environment_Al @WrigleyCorners Hope you had a good visit to the park. The structure is a bat condo. Kind of like a bat box but with more space!

New research finds that Carolina Chickadees require a landscape with 70% native plants to keep their population steady. Is your yard more of a 'food desert' or delectable buffet? https://t.co/Wg0XB2Ovjg

There is more to bees than honey --> One of the best things people can do to help bees is to step back and learn about all the different species of bees, and what they need. https://t.co/UA6tONZVRr
