Don't you just want to SCREAM when you see an opossum?! 😍
Now, we know they aren't everyone's favorite critter but did you know these cuties control pests like ticks, are highly adaptable, do NOT carry rabies and play a significant role in maintaining ecological balance?

It’s officially the height of the summer garden season, & we’re growing & harvesting lots crops in Lucille’s Garden. Despite the lack of rain through July, we still harvested 100lbs of produce in one day! 🌱🍅
Curious about how we've been coping? zurl.co/Q4Hl

🦋The monarch butterflies at the Pollinator Preserve are starting to come out of their chrysalises. Once they emerge, they'll hang around until their wings dry, preparing for their first flight. Stop by this weekend & you might witness this magical process firsthand!

Snowberry clearwing moths are important pollinators fluttering around Tyler Arboretum this time of year! They hover like hummingbirds and can resemble bees. With their distinctive clear wings, they're truly a sight to see!

This would be a huge step in closing the gaps in the @circuittrails network, and allowing us to reach the goal of 500 miles of connected trails in the Philly area.
"The Philadelphia area could soon become greener and more connected if a proposed landmark federal investment in the @circuittrails network - (including portions of the East Coast Greenway) - comes to pass."
