The most meaningful conservation efforts don’t start in a state or national park. They start in your yard, with the plants you choose and the chemicals you refuse.

🐿️ Happy National Squirrel Appreciation Day from Holliday Lake State Park! 🐿️

Today, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the curious, energetic, and sometimes mischievous squirrels that call our park home. From their acrobatic leaps to their endless scavenging, these little critters bring a unique charm to our natural landscape.

Did you know? Squirrels can bury up to 10,000 nuts in a season, helping to spread new growth throughout the forest! So, next time you see one of our furry friends darting around, give them a wave of appreciation for all they do to help keep the ecosystem thriving.

Stay warm friends and enjoy this free squirrel coloring page!
