Happy #NationalPollinatorWeek 🦋🌲🐝 #DYK trees & pollinators have a mutually beneficial relationship that is critical to maintaining a healthy ecosystem? Trees provide pollinators with food sources & habitats & pollinators play a crucial role in the reproductive cycle of a tree by transferring pollen.
Happy #WorldTurtleDay! #DYK that Canada has eight native species of freshwater turtles? Although turtles spend a lot of time in the water, they come up on land & travel between wetlands to build nests. Some even utilize forested areas for habitat, food & shelter. Isn't that turtle-y awesome!
