🐾 Wednesday, August 26: Watch Wildlife Wednesday - A vital aspect of nature stewardship is the promotion and support for the non-human inhabitants of the land.

Wildlife watching in the parks is a favorite pastime of outdoorspeople, and becoming familiar with animals is a sure way to get closer to natural spaces. Get to know some of Arabia’s wildlife by checking out our Native Species and Nonnative Species pages: • Native species: https://arabiaalliance.org/learn/native-species/ • Nonnative species: https://arabiaalliance.org/learn/nonnative-species/ Also, we can’t discuss wildlife without mentioning a partner organization, the AWARE Wildlife Center, which sits right at the base of Arabia Mountain. This volunteer-led nonprofit takes care of local wildlife in need, from opossums and snakes to vultures and hawks. They also lead some fantastic ambassador animal programs which are hosted FOR FREE each Saturday and Sunday at 1pm. No registration, just stop by! See some animals up close and learn their stories.
