"Oak trees support 897 caterpillar species in the United States. At Mr. Tallamy’s 10-acre property in southeastern Pennsylvania, he has recorded 511 — dwarfing the number supported by other native trees there, including maples, ironwood, and sweetgum." https://t.co/oCHHcmBXqh

They depict what makes us different from other organizations — that we are a servant leader focused on science-based solutions and social equity, all while being fierce, loud and proud when it is not always easy to do so.
