Programa Sobresaliente
Los veteranos de todas las ramas de servicio (personal en servicio activo, reserva y jubilado) están invitados a asistir a caminatas mensuales en Wehr Nature Center. Durante aproximadamente una hora a una hora y media, caminemos por los senderos del Wehr Nature Center para compartir camaradería y experimentar los acontecimientos naturales de las cuatro estaciones del ano.
¡El excremento de un pájaro es la comida de otro! Los pavos salvajes de Wehr estarán encantados de recoger las semillas perdidas que los pájaros ocupados arrojan al suelo en los comederos. Es todo un espectáculo encontrar cardenales, palomas y gorriones comiendo junto a estos pavos gigantes.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is looking to have the Monarch Butterfly listed as a Threatened Species via the Endangered Species of Act of 1973. Many organizations such as Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation and Monarch Watch have been asking for this listing to take place in recent years.Per USFWS:, the public can weigh in during "A 90-day comment period will open on December 12, 2024 and close on March 12, 2025. Information on how to submit comments can be found on regulations.gov by searching docket number FWS-R3-ES-2024-0137." Please see the original USFWS post for more information.We try our best to keep you all informed on what is happening with this proposal as we learn more.Based on the best available science, we are proposing to list the monarch butterfly as threatened with species specific protections and flexibilities to encourage conservation under section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act. We are also proposing to designate critical habitat at the overwintering grounds in California. Through spring 2025, we are gathering public comments and encourage the submission of any new information. Over the rest of the year, we will analyze these comments and issue a final decision. Comments submitted on this social post, do not count toward these public comments. Public comments must be submitted officially via the link below.Photo of monarch on blooming swamp milkweed by Jim Hudgins/USFWS
