Some of you may remember Seabrook, the snowy owl.

He was poisoned after eating rodents exposed to rat poison — ending up in rehab three times.

Wildlife rehabilitator Jane Kelley saved him twice. The third time, this magnificent bird didn’t make it.

Our friends at Save Massachusetts Wildlife are honoring Seabrook and shining a light on the toll these poisons take on wildlife with this billboard in Windham, NH.

Millions On Cleanup—Zero on Litter Prevention! 🗑️

Join us at the Massachusetts State House on March 3 for a legislative briefing about our efforts to establish a Massachusetts Litter Prevention & Cleanup Task Force.

📍 Where: State House Room 428
🗓️ When: March 3, 1:30-2:30 p.m. (we’ll have the room from 1-3, so feel free to stop by early)
🗣️ Who: Anyone who is fed up with the mess in Massachusetts!

Please reach out to your state representative and senator and ask them, or a designee, to attend.

Ever tossed a French fry, sandwich crust, or apple core out your car window? Please, please never do it again! Your food waste is actually causing many wild animals to die, and owls are among the most likely victims.

That sandwich crust you threw in the road is likely going to stay there until evening, when it will start looking appealing to small, nocturnal scavengers like rats and mice. Owls are excellent hunters who hyperfocus their eyesight and attention on their scurrying prey. When the rodent pauses to eat in the road, that’s when an owl will often go for the kill— swooping right in front of a car.

Car collisions have become a leading cause of death and injury among wild owls, but it doesn’t have to be this way. One of the kindest, simplest ways to protect native wildlife is to hold onto your food trash until you’re able to dispose of it properly in a trash can or compost bin.
