While doing trail maintenance at Obed Wild and Scenic River segment our trail crew had an encounter with a copperhead as loppers were accidentally laid on the poor guy 😮 🐍!!! No worries! No one was harmed and neither was the snake 😉 ALWAYS BE AWARE of how well camouflaged these guys are in their surroundings!

Turtle Thursday! 🐢

Did you know the Eastern Box Turtle lives in moist, open forests often near water? They can be found in pastures and sometimes burrow under logs. Their diet consist of plants and grasses, mushrooms, fruit, insects, earthworms, snails and salamanders.

It’s best to admire these guys and leave them be. Their population is in decline due to habitat loss from human development, collection for pets and mortality from vehicles
