Happy Halloween!!! 🦇

As you celebrate and participate in Halloween events, please keep wildlife safety in mind:
-Pumpkin safety for wildlife: https://www.fws.gov/story/how-keep-pumpkins-safe-wildlife
-Clean up candy and wrappers: ingredients and wrappers can be harmful to wildlife.
-Skip fake spider webs: the webs can trap, entangle, and severely injure or kill birds, bats, and other small animals. Keep these decorations strictly indoors or avoid them completely.
