Let's talk ticks! 🔍 🗓️ From April to November, ticks are most active in #RougeNUP. Deer ticks usually live in woods or tall grasslands close to the ground. Always check for ticks on yourself and your pets after spending time in the great outdoors! 📷Gary James

Some of the most important observations of our local wildlife occur in the spring. Spotting our endangered turtles is one of them. Early season turtle spotting helps to establish relative abundance and identify over winter habitat areas.
