Cleaning and Capturing Nature

by GreatBlueAndy (Andy) near Fredericksburg, Virginia, United StatesApril 8, 2026Gave 8 Hours for Earth

Trigger Warning! (animals eating animals). I love being out in nature, but the trash spoiled my view. I started bringing a grabbing claw and bag on my paddles. To be honest, it's fun pulling mystery crap out of the water. While I'm out I like to do wildlife photography too. 4 hours/day for 2 days.

Baby rattlers

by Reuben Daly near New York, United StatesApril 8, 2026Gave 7 Hours for Earth

Last year I found a gravid timber rattlesnake (who I named Grenda), and I spent several months following her (from a safe distance) until I finally caught her in a crevice with seven newborn babies. Timbers have been depleted in my area by old poachers, so its very cool to see this regrowth.

Volunteering at a Wildlife Center!

by Alexa near New Jersey, United StatesApril 7, 2026Gave 10 Hours for Earth

I started volunteering at a wildlife center in my area (New Jersey)! I help clean enclosures, meal prep, do laundry, etc. I also recently decided to continue my education w/ a second undergrad in wildlife science once I finish my current undergrad. I'm too passionate not to go all in at this point!!

sewerslidal spider saviour

by sadiedasie near England, United KingdomApril 7, 2026

I was having a bath last night and the spider that has frequented the bathroom for at least the last week tried to get in with me.... twice. Instead of letting it drown or killing it, i carefully scooped it up and took it to a room with decidedly fewer places it could drown

Baby Squirrel

by Twigs and Tinder near Kentucky, United StatesApril 6, 2026

We found a baby squirrel laying on our steps at work breathing, but not moving. We picked it up to save it from our dogs and called a wildlife rescue. They told us to nail a box to a tree with a squirrel nest and see if the mom would come get it. Unfortunately, she didn't so they came and rescued it
