To all the mamas—wild at heart and fierce in love—Happy Mother’s Day. Spotted this beautiful bear and her cubs in the Smokies this week, and couldn’t think of a better tribute. #mothersday #happymothersday #mamabear #bearfamily #blackbear #smokies #smokeymountains #cadescove #wildheart #wildatheart

Just a little detour to help a rough-skinned newt get to safety. Every small act of kindness counts—especially for our wild neighbors.
