Hot out? Help wildlife keep cool |

 A recent e-newsletter from the National Wildlife Federation highlighted some ways you can invite your backyard wildlife to keep cool in the summer heat.
"Simply providing a water source in your backyard is one of the best ways to care for and attract local wildlife, from turtles and frogs to birds and butterflies.
Here are a few helpful hints for turning your yard into a haven for wildlife this summer:
- Provide a bird bath on a pedestal or a shallow dish at ground level to attract birds and other animals.
- Make a puddling area where butterflies can gather and take in nutrients.
- Clean and refill your bird bath or water dish every few days to prevent your water source from becoming a breeding habitat for mosquitoes.
- Create a pond, if space permits, to provide habitat as well as a water supply for frogs, dragonflies and more."
When you're inside enjoying your A/C, don't forget about your friends in heat! |

What can you do to help protect our biological diversity?
- Stay on the trail to avoid trampling fragile habitats.
- While tempting, don’t share your lunch with the wildlife, and dispose of food waste and food wrappers responsibly.
- Keep the areas around our trails and paths healthy by reporting any non-native exotics--both plants and animals--you see to the proper agencies.
- Plant poaching. If you witness illegal activities do not confront the offenders but report the activity to the proper authorities.
- For more information stay tuned to the website, and feel free to share your suggestions!

As always, the Landcare Committee made a spirited appearance in Montreat's annual Fourth of July parade. Special thanks to Ron Nally, who braved the bear suit once more, and to the rangers, who joined in the celebration too.
