When in doubt, call a rehabber! Sometimes it just takes a little bit of information, a good strategy, and patience to do the right thing

I once had a pest control company tell me I was flat out lying when I said that when you trap/relocate a Mama raccoon with her babies she will abandon them.
Earlier last year, we took in a mama raccoon that had been trapped with her babies by pest control. The property wouldn't allow us to release/ guide through humane eviction, and they were going to be killed, so we took them.
Mama raccoon had a warm den here, fresh food and water, a safe space. As well as space away from us. However, she still didn't FEEL safe. She still didn't know this place. This wasn't one of HER dens.
And despite our best attempts, she didn't want anything to do with her babies while here.
Now imagine a mama alone in the woods, left somewhere unknown, with her babies. Do you really think she will be able to care for them?
No.
It's absolutely appalling that company continues to trap/release mamas with babies, who I know suffer slow deaths out in the forest alone.
PLEASE always use humane eviction when handling wildlife issues! There are SO many ways to get wildlife to move on, on their own, without trapping/relocating/creating orphans!!
There are still at least two pest control companies locally that tell people don't worry if there are babies! We will take them to a rehabber.
There aren't enough room for all those babies.
One year, ONE DAY, a pest control company called me on 10 baby raccoons whose moms they'd relocated.
10 babies all made orphaned in ONE SINGLE DAY!
They had 24 hrs to find a licensed center and we weren't licensed at that time. We gave them number after number, but at the end of the day all those babies ended up euthanized because there was nowhere for them to go.
This is one of many reasons Wildlife rehabbers are needed in Colorado.
This is one of many reasons why it's so important we get our license back.

What is Humane eviction?
Humane eviction is the idea of getting the animal to leave on their own, by making the environment uncomfortable.

Wildlife like Squirrels and raccoons, will have multiple den sites in case something happens to one of them.
If you have a raccoon denning in a place like your attic or shed, you could choose to leave them be. It' won't be long before the babies are raised and they move along.

However, we understand a lot of folks don't want to do that.
Great ways to get raccoons to leave are to put bright lights in the area that stay on all night long. Noise, like a radio being left on constantly in the area is also a great method.
Once you know mom has gone and taken ALL of her babies, sealing their route in will prevent other wildlife from taking advantage.

This very much applies to kittens, as well as all other animals!

Caring, translated into action, must possess wisdom.

Reminder.....please don't take kittens from their mama unless absolutely necessary!

Like ya do ❤️

When a coyote family separates to hunt — and they hunt alone, not in packs — the pair calls everyone home. The female yips. The male howls. The yearlings answer from wherever they ended up.

The sound tricks you. Multi-pitched voices distorted through trees and terrain create the illusion of a much larger group. A mated pair can sound like 8 animals. The horde you heard last night was almost certainly 2 to 4.

A coyote that just made a kill rarely howls. Howling at a kill would broadcast the location to competing predators and cost them the meal. Silence means a kill. Sound means family.

They recognize each other by voice the way you recognize a friend on the phone. Each family has its own dialect. A mother knows her own pup's call from a stranger's at half a mile.

This is a beautiful way to remember someone!

It honors them through our beautiful natural world, and it provides, in their memory, something beneficial for the world for years to come.

Due to the severe deforestation in the state of Michigan, they have a special option where you can choose to reforest right here in MI.

But wherever you’re, this is a beautiful option, in lieu of, flowers, cards, etc. ❤️🙏🌍🌲🌳

A tribute that grows on

How is this even a question?!

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hears oral arguments in a case that could let Bayer/Monsanto walk away from tens of thousands of lawsuits claiming their flagship weedkiller Roundup caused cancer. At its core, Bayer wants the Court to rule that federal pesticide law blocks state-level failure-to-warn claims. In plain English: if the EPA didn’t require a cancer warning on the label, people can’t sue for not getting one — even if the product allegedly harmed them. This legal immunity shield that could deny thousands of Americans their day in court.   
   
Over 160,000 lawsuits have already been filed. Bayer has paid out around $11 billion to settle many of them and just proposed a $7.25 billion class settlement for current and future claims. But a win at the Supreme Court could wipe out most remaining cases and future ones too.    
   
The chemical at the center is glyphosate, the world’s most widely used herbicide. While the EPA maintains it’s not carcinogenic, the sheer volume of lawsuits — over 65,000 still pending — tells its own story.   
   
As someone who’s helped thousands of people around the world optimize their health, I’ve seen the lab results firsthand. Glyphosate shows up in the vast majority of people’s bodies — And it’s not just cancer. The evidence I’ve reviewed, combined with what my telehealth patients experience, paints a troubling picture: glyphosate is linked to digestive issues, fertility problems, hormonal imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, autoimmune conditions, nervous system disorders. It’s showing up in our food, water, and even rain — and it’s accumulating. The good news? You are not powerless. Join the movement. Vote with your wallet: shop organic whenever you can. Call your representatives, tell them you care about this.
