• Please trim trees and greenery in the winter months, and not in the spring when babies are being born!  Baby birds, squirrels, and other animals that live in trees are separated from their mamas every year when limbs are dropped. Trim trees in November, December, and January to minimize disruption to these sweet babies!
• Please don't release balloons!  Even bio-degradable balloons can appear to be food to mammals, birds, fish, and all types of wildlife.  Ribbons are a huge danger as well, and can easily get tangled around feet, talons, wings, and necks.
• Leave the fledglings (teenage birds) where they are!  For more information on how to identify and help fledglings, see this excellent article from the Audubon Society:  https://www.massaudubon.org/learn/nature-wildlife/birds/baby-birds-out-of-the-nest.
• Leave the fawns alone!  Mama deer leave their babies alone for the majority of the day.  If you see a fawn alone, it is very likely that it is healthy and its mama is nearby!  For more on how to help fawns, see this excellent article from the
