Happy bog day to everyone who celebrates the wonde

Happy bog day to everyone who celebrates the wonders of bogs! Bogs have so many unique hidden features within them and hold so many benefits in one ecosystem. Bogs are natural water filters that help provide clean water, mitigate flooding, and are powerful carbon sinks. Bogs also provide food - some of our favorite everyday snacks like blueberries and cranberries can be found in bogs. Lastly, bogs are inhabited by many rare and unique plant and animal species that rely on their acidic and waterlogged soils. Our world would not be the same without bogs, and that is why we must protect and conserve these areas! What are some of your favorite plant species you can find in bogs?

Did you know that a warm road can look like the perfect resting spot to a snake? That’s why it’s always a good idea to watch out for our scaly friends on the roads.Snakes are ectotherms, meaning they rely on their surrounding environment to regulate their body temperature. Roads often provide a desirable heat source because they absorb warmth during the day and slowly release it as temperatures cool in the evening and overnight hours.Snakes also cross roads while moving between habitats, searching for food, or seeking mates (in some cases, pheromones can lead them across roadways during breeding season).When driving, remain especially vigilant during early morning and later at night, when snakes are more likely to seek warm pavement. If you spot a snake on the road, slow down safely, hit your hazard lights (if appropriate), and give the animal an opportunity to cross. Many times, if given the chance, a snake will move out of the way on its own.If the snake doesn’t budge, you may gently encourage it to move in the direction it was already traveling using a long stick or similar object to coax them across. However, never attempt to handle or pick up a snake unless you can confidently identify it and have appropriate training and experience.Safe travels to both you and our lovely snake friends. 🐍🚗📸 Cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus), photo by Julianne Jones - @Ambystomajones#IBrakeforSnakes #SnakeWeek #SnakeConservation #WorldSnakeDay #snakes
