What a picture-perfect day at the Deer Creek Conservation Area in #NorfolkCounty for the annual Kids, Cops, and Canadian Tire Fishing Days!
With 100 anglers casting their lines, the real catch was all the fun they had - fish or no fish. (1 of 2) ^ag

It's almost that time of the year again... turtle nesting season! Turtles are busy feeding, basking & moving all about to find suitable nesting habitat. Please keep an eye out for mature turtles crossing busy roadways and even little hatchlings like this one!🐢#WorldTurtleDay

Did you know that there are actions you can take to help prevent the spread of oak wilt? Protect oak trees:
🔥 Don't move firewood; burn it where you buy it
🌳 Don't prune oaks from April to November
📷 Report any potentially infected oak trees to @InspectionCan
Oak wilt’s threat is real, but so is our response!
Our inspectors did surveys to combat this tree-destroying fungus in Canada. Learn more about what we do to detect and contain #OakWilt. 🌳
