Here are some of our recent wildlife captures! Animals relying on these life saving vernal pools left behind by a seasonal creek. 💧🌿
As temperatures continue to rise, these remaining water sources become critical for survival, offering wildlife a place to drink, cool off, and endure the harsh dry conditions. 🐭🦉🦇🐆🦝🐾🐿️☀️

Protecting and preserving these fragile ecosystems is essential to supporting the countless species that depend on them every day. 🌎💚
