Did you know the word “moose” is an Algonquin term meaning “eater of twigs”?

Moose are herbivores and the largest members of the deer family, standing six feet (1.8 meters) tall from hoof to shoulder and weighing in at more than 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms).

They spend much of their time swimming in lakes and rivers to keep their body temperature down on hot days, sometimes swimming without stopping for 10 or more miles.

What’s the buzz? 🐝

When we think of bees, we often think of honey bees. But did you know honey bees are not native to North America? There are nearly 4,000 different species of native bees in North America. Honey bees look and behave differently from most native bees.

The Department of Agriculture has proposed repealing one of our nation’s most successful conservation tools: the Roadless Rule.

For more than two decades, this rule has safeguarded wildlife habitat, clean water, and outdoor recreation opportunities across the nation. The repeal also subverts important protections for Indigenous sites and practices.

A public comment period opens tomorrow. Watch this space for ways you can speak up!
