DNR Wants You to Report Sightings of Michigan’s Reptiles
As much as I don t like it, Michigan has its fair share of snakes and other reptiles. I don t have a problem with turtles and lizards but I do have a problem with snakes. Ever since I was a kid, I ve had a fear of snakes.
Michigan s Department of Natural Resources is hoping that the public will help them track frogs, toads, salamanders, snakes, lizards, or turtles while out exploring or hiking.
According to MLive, this includes rare species like the Blanding’s turtle, eastern box turtle, spotted turtle and wood turtle and the threatened eastern massasauga rattlesnake.

Six projects selected for Georgia DNR Wildlife Viewing Grants promise new opportunities for Georgians to enjoy native animals and plants across the state.
Grant projects announced today by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources will improve public opportunities to see and learn about native animals and plants statewide. The six proposals selected by the DNR Wildlife Resources Division as 2021 recipients in the Wildlife Viewing Grants Program range from Cairo to Covington and from Varnell to Tybee Island.
That 2020 calendar belongs in a recycle bin and your Christmas tree belongs in a river. Thereâs not much to be done about what we all just went through but this year weâre starting off with a new hope. Since 2018, members of Rhode Islandâs Trout Unlimited chapter have collected pine trees to stabilize river banks and provide shelter for fishes like brook trout. Weâve learned a lot about our effects on nature from filling in wetlands and straightening rivers but now, we can all help do something good: ecocycle our Christmas trees for their Trees for Trout program.
