It’s all about the balance. Do you allow some flooding downstream or do you try and keep everything dry, but risk a catastrophic problem? The decision makers at @UTRCAmarketing have a tough job to balance everything. @weathernetwork #ONStorm

American Pelecinid Wasp The harmless adults drink nectar, and they live in crop fields, woods, and suburban gardens. They are parasitoids that lay their eggs directly into grubs of the June beetle buried in the soil. @WildwoodCA @FanshaweCa @PittockCA

Feeding #wildlife may do more harm than good. Wildlife can become dependent on artificial food sources. They can lose their natural fear of humans and pets, becoming more prone to conflict. Habituated wildlife can become aggressive. #StepIntoNature bit.ly/3iQpwVj

Carolinian Trees Blooming! Carolinian forests in Ontario are similar to forests in North and South Carolina. Tulip Trees produce beautiful yellow-green flowers. The Kentucky Coffee Tree is a threatened species in Ontario. @WildwoodCA @PittockCA @FanshaweCA @conont
