Spring time brings wildflowers, the birth of wildlife, and sometimes – pests! This issue of Our Big Backyard covers all of this and more.
Learn about Metro's role in recovering two threatened species of wildflowers. We spoke to experts about what to do, and what not to do when you see adorable but vulnerable young wildlife as part of our living with wildlife series. We also have tips of how to deal with pests without reaching for the pesticides.
Also in this issue: the new Community Choice Grants program puts people in control of what parks projects get funded in their neighborhoods. Find out which 15 projects were chosen.
