What if in the process of removing our leaves, we are disrupting a cycle that they are an important part of?

Forest pests are often introduced insects that damage the ecosystems that they are occupying by threatening forest health, biodiversity, human health, and the economy.

We’ve all done it – tossed an apple core out the window, into the green edge along a roadway. Are we unintentionally bringing wildlife closer to danger?

On September 2, we celebrate these large carnivorous birds most well known for being scavengers or “Nature’s garbagemen.”

The campers sampled 34 monarchs this year, a record for Teatown, before submitting their data to the university. Teatown campers have been collecting data for Project Monarch Health for 5 years.

Well, there’s a lot we don’t know about moths. The large scale initiatives that monitor the behaviors and populations of other invertebrates like honeybees don’t exist on the same scale for moths.

The lily pads on Teatown Lake are hard to miss. Water lilies take up approximately 1/3 of the surface area of the lake and depending on who you ask, they are either blight, or beautiful.

Coyotes are an important part of our ecosystem. Day or night these woodland canines pose little threat to your family or pets. Taking some simple precautions can make living alongside them easy.
