Please save a life by looking before you mow! Ground-nesting birds and native rabbits nest in shallow depressions that may be difficult to spot, and box turtles may be traveling through your yard. If you see any wild babies growing up in your lawn, wait a week or two to mow that spot. Box turtles can be safely contained in a box for a short period of time, then returned to exactly the spot where they were found when you’re done mowing. It only takes a few minutes to keep your backyard critters safe!
