Making friends with the owls at the AZ Worm Farm. They have plenty of food and some places to hide... but we wanted to give them more. Yesterday we were able to move around some habitats to give them a refresh.... and now we wait. I really love the gardens and classes they have at this facility. Please check them out. Nest boxes, compost, worms, veggies, sustainability classes. We love this place!!! Az Worm Farm

We started a little garden group. People came over from the neighborhood so we could just talk plants and weeds. I'm hoping that we continue making it more of a regular thing. These were the suggestions I made to manage the weeds in my yard and I hope it helps you manage the weeds in your yard so we can have more bugs and pollinators and butterflies and bunnies and all the good things that don't cost any money.

It's the time of year where the roads are warmer than the dirt and these guys like to lay out like it's a beach. Strange. They come out around the same time the ground squirrels do. It's like Mother Nature knows.... anyway this recycled wooden basket I bought to use as a supplemental owl habitat also doubles as a really bad snake pole. Also... I made the mistake once of parking my car too close to the snake when I tried to help it off the road. I definitely don't recommend doing that because they'll use your car as a heat rock. OK thanks. Hope y'all all get to save some wildlife this season all of them need it. conservation teer

If you want to help with burrowing Owls, please sign up on our Volunteer page. We're trying to make these pages more public friendly. We would love to find more support for funding cameras, and making the footage available to the public easier. Thank you to everybody that has helped out with this project and continues to help wildlife. To learn more about burrowing owl conservation projects please check out bio or Wild At Hearts for a full list of opportunities.

We're in busy season. A lot of people think this is our job... but when it comes to Rescue, we're just volunteers and we're always looking for more helpers. We do have jobs as well, but you'll have to be willing to kill rats with your bare hands and climb trees. Either way we have a volunteer form that you can fill out if you're interested in some of the seasons craziness and protecting Wildlife if you don't volunteer for us, we'll get you in touch with the center near you that you can gain experience it. Thank you.

Here's the update on our owls and the next steps we are going to help them. Cameras and monitoring are usually for large grant funded projects .... but why not make them small community projects. We have owls here, they are quickly disappearing, many fail without ever being documented, and if we have a community that cares about its wildlife... I think they would be more likely to care about their neighbors too. We will give more updates as things go on..... it's also getting into busy baby season. Please find a rescue on our map and volunteer for a group close to you.... or one that suites your interest. I personally always recommend Wild At Heart since they do the most burrowing owl conservation work. They have installed over 5,000 supplemental habitats, trap and tag all their burrowing owl relocations (instead of just flushing or hard releasing), and acclimate them to new areas by way of soft release tenting. ♥️🦉♥️

Welcome to wildlife conservation. You can have a whole community of people watching over the owls... and it takes just one bu****le to destroy it. This is one of the last remaining burrowing owl families here in Casa Grande. You think people wouldn't purposely destroy one of their burrows.... but it's kind of hard to believe it was an accident as well. We have a reporting page on our website. We have pictures of how to mark the boroughs and we have contacts to Game And Fish, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Wild At Heart that can all assist when burrows are in danger. Marking healthy burrows is as important as documenting destroyed ones. Please checkout our bio for more info.

A reminder that native bird nests are federally protected. If you are being told you will be fined for not pruning it by an HOA or City Code Enforcement officer we have the documentation you can share with them to protect the nest and reporting tools available so we can easily share violations with state and federal authorities

A huge thank you to our friend Hazzard from Dinasour Quill Studio that did the artwork for the print. It is species specific to some of the wildlife that use palm skirts for nesting. ♥️🦉♥️
