Bewilder

Next time you see a bug — don’t squish it. Watch it.

What is it doing? Is it eating, pollinating, or decomposing? Bugs aren’t just creepy crawlies. They help grow our food, clean up the forest, feed the birds, and some of them are literally used in hospitals to treat wounds.

Swipe to learn the 5 reasons bugs run the world — then go find one together. 🐛

Shhh… do you hear that bird singing? 🐤

Birds aren’t just making noise — they’re claiming their space, finding a partner, sounding an alarm, or calling their family home. One tiny bird, many different conversations, sort of like us!

Join us at the next Trail Tales to learn more about our feathered friends. RSVP at the link in bio.
