The felling of a tree should be carefully considered, whether it is to build a road or a house or because the leaves pollute the roof and block the drainage system. Trees offer numerous benefits that should be considered:

🌳 **CO2 absorption and oxygen production:** One tree absorbs about 22 kg of CO2 per year and produces enough oxygen for two people. This contributes significantly to improving air quality.

🌿 **Soil stabilization:** With its deep roots, a tree stabilizes the soil and prevents erosion. The roots improve the soil structure and increase the water retention capacity of the soil.

🌳 **Climate regulation:** Trees reflect and absorb some solar radiation, which helps to cool the environment. A single tree can have the cooling effect of ten air conditioners.

🌿 **Cloud formation and precipitation:** Through evaporation, trees contribute to cloud formation and thus have a positive influence on the local microclimate and precipitation.

🌳 **Soil fertility:** Leaves that fall to the ground decompose and serve as food for the soil. This promotes soil fertility and supports the growth of other plants.

🌿 **Nutrient cycling:** Trees provide sugars to the mycelium in exchange for nutrients, which promotes soil life and supports ecosystem health.

🌳 **Air purification:** Trees absorb dust and pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide, which significantly improves air quality.

🌿 **Habitat:** Trees provide habitat and food for a variety of animals, including birds, insects and rodents, thus promoting biodiversity.

🌳 **Sound and visual protection:** Trees can act as a natural sound and visual barrier, which is particularly beneficial in urban areas.

🌿 **Shade and protection:** Trees provide shade and protection from UV radiation, which pleasantly cools the local microclimate.

Additionally, it can be mentioned:

📊 **Economic benefits:** Urban trees can increase property values and reduce energy costs by providing natural cooling.

📈 **Health benefits:** Spending time near trees and green spaces reduces stress, improves mental health and promotes physical activity.

**Conclusion:** In addition to CO2 reduction, a tree provides freshness, water and oxygen. Trees are an indispensable technology that can save us! Plant trees, plant hedges. 👍

ART CLASSES AT INWARD BOUND - $20
There will be two more opportunities to sign up for the "How to Paint a Turtle" art class. The first one which was scheduled for Wednesday 6/19 is already FILLED UP but there is still space in the Thursday 7/11 and the Wednesday 8/7 class.
This hands-on class will supply each person with a relaxing two hours where they will learn to paint a turtle on an 8"x10"canvas. During this class we will also discuss how the turtle's shell is linked to the lunar calendar and the importance and meaning behind the colors we choose to make our work of art.
All ages are welcomed as this will be a therapeutic bonding experience between families and friends or a relaxing night out for yourself to be immersed in creativity. You will be able to bring your beautiful creation home at the end of the night to decorate your home or gift to a loved one. This class will be limited to 14 participants. Please text Andrea Baird at (920) 809-4059 to reserve your spot!

We currently have multiple fawns that were admitted at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary in the month of May. Unfortunately, these fawns were brought into our care due to being abandoned. These fawns are currently eating a lot of formula as they continue to grow!

Our baby nursery is very busy right now! We appreciate all of the generous donations we have been receiving! Without these donations we could not rehabilitate the vast number of wildlife admits we get a year! Thank you!

If you are interested in making a donation to help these fawns or any of the other baby animals that are brought to us at the Wildlife Sanctuary, you can donate online at https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=UTRC8FQ6H9WUY

We also have our Wildlife Rehabilitation Wish list (link below). We are currently in need of bleach. Listed are other various items we are in need of! Our Giving Tree, which is located in the lobby of the Observation Building, has ornament tags on it of items we are in need of! Just take an ornament and purchase the specified item on it! Items purchased can be dropped off at the Wildlife Sanctuary Observation Building between 8am and 6:30pm daily! https://www.greenbaywi.gov/1317/Animal-Rehabilitation-Wish-List

We have an Amazon Wishlist too!

Batten down the hatches there’s quite a storm coming. I’m taking a page out of Loretta Metoxen’s playbook where she would tell us to put out an ax to cut the storm. Stay alert 9-10pm tonight.

It seems simple but completed parking lot stripes and no curve barriers are looking so amazing at the Amelia Cornelius Culture Park. We met with Somerville to look at a Botanical Garden building example as we begin the design phase of Oneida’s Visitor Center.
