The temps are up and the turtles are out! You'd be one shell of a friend if you slow down for these reptiles that are on the move.
Turtles would appreciate your assistance as they traverse our roadways in search of mates and food. Here are some ways you can help turtles that you might spot on the road.
1. Drive slowly in areas where turtles frequent.
2. If you have to move a turtle be very careful when moving them (it could be injured or it could bite you depending on what species). If possible, sometimes it is best to just stand guard as the animal crosses the road on its own.
3. Always keep your own safety in mind – watch out for oncoming vehicles, signal properly when pulling over and recognize your surroundings first before working to help save an animal.
4. If the animal does need to be moved, put it down on the other side of the road in the same direction it was going.
5. Do NOT take it with you - please only focus on helping it get safely to the other side.

Prescribed burning is an important management tool in the landscape, but it should be used judiciously. Many of the large fires Kansas Forest Service have responded to in the last week have been a result of escaped prescribed burns.
Many serious fires have occurred when someone burned on a day with favorable weather, but a day or two later, an unseen ember was whipped to life when dry winds kicked up. In planning any prescribed burn, it is critically important to check weather not only for the day of the burn, but also for at least three days following the burn.
Monitor local weather patterns and check with local agencies to ensure your burn will not cause the next Kansas wildfire.

Our plastic waste is bad for wildlife.
The image is of a deceased black-footed albatross chick. It's a sobering picture and normally we like to keep things light-hearted on this account, but every once in a while we need to have one of those "real talks." Unfortunately, this chick isn't exclusive. It represents the millions of birds, reptiles, mammals and other wildlife that ingest our plastic waste.
How can you help? Check out our comments to find simple ways to reduce these wildlife hazards. This Earth Day, we're asking you to make the world a healthier place for the next generation AND for wildlife.
