The NYSDEC Bureau of Wildlife is asking for photographs from the public to use on reports, social media, posters, DEC's website, and more. While many people have been greatly impacted by current circumstances, New York's wildlife is as busy as ever with seasonal activities. We encourage you to capture and share with us moments in the lives of your wild neighbors -- whether feathered, smooth, furry, or scaly. If you sit outside quietly for an hour, you might be surprised at what kinds of critters visit your own backyard! More at: https://www.surveygizmo.com//561/Wildlife-Photo-Submission
Spring continues, regardless ...
Garlic mustard, a very invasive exotic plant, is budded and ready to bloom in Fiddlers Green Park. It is allelopathic -- it releases chemicals that hinder the growth of other plant species, making it easy for it to crowd out the native plants that insects and wildlife need to survive. It pulls out of the ground very easily when grabbed close to the roots; you can help Fiddlers Green by pulling this plant wherever you find it!

Large numbers of salamanders and frogs cross New York roads on rainy spring nights, trying to get from their hibernation areas to woodland pools to breed. If you see them while driving, give them a "brake"! More at https://www.facebook.com/1480755788866885/posts/2615035705438882/

Always nice to hear water babbling in January!
Nice to hear water still babbling along in January!
Native Plant Profile (from the Wild Seed Project): Shagbark hickories' shaggy bark belies their longevity and strength. Ease of identification is a step toward understanding the ecology of a forest. Winter is perhaps the best time to learn to recognize different tree species: bark is at eye level and there are fewer distractions. More at https://wildseedproject.net//shagbark-hickory-carya-ovat/
