Another amazing trail camera montage thanks to land steward, Steven Nagle Photography! Almost all the animals made an appearance at Hawk Valley Farm in April. It may only be 5 acres, but this area of open space provides habitat for many flora and fauna that are thriving. And thanks to trail cameras, we get to be a fly on the wall both day and night!

The second full moon of May, called a "blue moon", will be visible this weekend if the weather allows! It's also a micromoon, so it will appear smaller than usual due to its orbit being at the farthest point from Earth.

The 31st May 2026 full Moon will be a 'Blue Micromoon'. Find out what these definitions mean and top tips for observing it.

As the weather warms up, mulch can be a lifesaver for your trees. It retains moisture, saving you time and water while keeping your trees healthy and refreshed. However, there is a right way and a wrong way to do it.

The DOs and DON'Ts of Mulching:

DO use the 3-3-3 method: Apply a 3-inch layer of mulch in a 3-foot ring around the tree, keeping it 3 inches away from the trunk.

DON'T build a "mulch volcano": Piling mulch directly against the bark traps moisture, which can lead to rot, insect damage, and poor root structure.
