🐢 Happy World Turtle Day! 🚙 Why did the turtle cross the road? 🤔 They could be looking for a place to lay their eggs or a warm surface to bask in the sun. 🐢 Please drive slowly and watch for wildlife Image: [Baby painted turtle next to a coin for comparison]

🌱 Did you know milkweed is essential for the survival of the monarch butterfly? They rely on it for food and habitat. Soon, monarchs will be returning from their winter migration. 🦋 #milkweedformonarchs Image: [Small green plant with big leaves tight to stalk]
