This Valentine's Day Fall in Love with Nature

From the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to fall in love with nature. Go outside to experience the excitement of a majestic bald eagle or the thrill of a bright red cardinal, whether in your own backyard or at one of America’s national wildlife refuges. There is a national wildlife refuge or fish hatchery just an hour’s drive from most major metropolitan areas, and all are inviting portals to the natural world.

The Service’s “Let’s go Outside” contains a wealth of information to help families connect with nature, including:

Electronic Valentines, in both English and Spanish, featuring bald eagles, red foxes and even turtles, that are great to send to friends and family.

Fact sheets about numerous wildlife species, including bald eagles, moose, sea turtles and cardinals.

Tips on how families can start observing wildlife together.

The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. For more information on their work visit www.fws.gov.
