A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

The giant hornets, dubbed "murder hornets", that arrived in Washington in 2019 have been declared eradicated. It's a nice success story of how our coordinated efforts can help fight invasive species.

Last year I was intentional about leaving the leaves in my back yard. Wow, was I ever rewarded by the show of fireflies this summer! I also saw Luna and White-lined Sphinx moths for the first time at my home.
