You may think all maple leaves look alike, but being able to identify them can help you find invasive species. Norway Maple leaves are often mistaken for Sugar Maple leaves, but they do have some distinguishing features. Check out our graphic to learn how to ID this invasive #tree species!

#DYK trees & pollinators have a mutually beneficial relationship that is critical to maintaining a healthy ecosystem?
Trees provide pollinators with food sources & habitats & pollinators play a crucial role in the reproductive cycle of a tree by transferring pollen.

Happy #WorldTurtleDay! #DYK that Canada has eight native species of freshwater turtles? Although turtles spend a lot of time in the water, they come up on land & travel between wetlands to build nests. Some even utilize forested areas for habitat, food & shelter. Isn't that turtle-y awesome!

May is National Invasive Species Action Month!
Invasive species negatively impact our natural environment by reducing biodiversity & disrupting ecosystems. They threaten & outcompete native species, introduce diseases & more.
This spring, think of native species for your garden. 🌳🐝 #NISAM2025

#DYK that in Ontario, the nests of barred owls & other bird species are protected during forestry activities?🦉Barred owls are fairly common in central Ontario, although they are often hard to see because they are usually active at night. Hoot knows, maybe you've already seen one! #ItTakesAForest
