Invasive tree species, like the Tree-of-Heaven, often disguise themselves as native. This tree is commonly misidentified as either sumac or ash; however, some key identifiable features make it stand out. Check out our graphic to help you #ID this #invasivespecies

You may think all maple leaves look alike, but being able to identify them can help you find invasive species. Norway Maple leaves are often mistaken for Sugar Maple leaves, but they do have some distinguishing features. Check out our graphic to learn how to ID this invasive #tree species!

Happy #NationalPollinatorWeek 🦋🌲🐝 #DYK trees & pollinators have a mutually beneficial relationship that is critical to maintaining a healthy ecosystem? Trees provide pollinators with food sources & habitats & pollinators play a crucial role in the reproductive cycle of a tree by transferring pollen.

Happy #WorldTurtleDay! #DYK that Canada has eight native species of freshwater turtles? Although turtles spend a lot of time in the water, they come up on land & travel between wetlands to build nests. Some even utilize forested areas for habitat, food & shelter. Isn't that turtle-y awesome!
