An accidental spill of raw sewage from the Glenpool sewage treatment plant inundated Coal Creek, likely killing all fish species over a stretch of 3 miles, to its confluence with Pole Cat Creek at Jenks, near the Arkansas River, on Oct. 1-2. Weeks passed before rain flushed the drainage.

For 60 years, the Land and Water Conservation Fund has protected parks, forests and wildlife habitat all without costing taxpayers anything.
But now a new federal order will limit LWCF funding and create roadblocks for vital projects.

This bright, freshly eclosed young lad is likely the product of a backyard habitat! Caterpillars devoured our backyard swamp milkweed not long ago. Tonight he feasted on our golden crownbeard blooms. Wish him a safe journey to Mexico! #monarchbutterfly #pollinators #backyardhabitat #nativeplants
