U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)’s Post

Stop what you’re doing and go hug a tree. Or, you know, read this instead. Forests are out here doing the most. They clean our air, filter our water, and provide space for every creature that calls them home. They’re also economic powerhouses that provide wood products, jobs, and recreation opportunities for communities across the United States. And get this, we're teaming up with private forest owners to make sure forests can keep doing all of that. From carefully planned timber harvests to prescribed burns that mimic natural fire cycles, this work is all about managing forests not just for people, but for wildlife too. Want to know more? Dive into this story about smart forest management and how it's keeping critters and humans thriving: https://ow.ly/3Oae50VmmKG Photo by Debbie Barb (sharetheexperience)

Um, do not hug a tree with bare skin unless you can afford the doctor visit to treat the contact dermatitis. Avoid sequoias.

I am greatful to see this post, with all the development to accommodate population growth, I've been concerned. Working together gives these area's a better chance to preserve precious habitats in futures to come. I pray many more people become aware and proactive about the importance of the earth's natural resources and native species. THANK YOU for your dedication and service 💝
