Become ungovernable

This is what NOT to do when you see a bear in Gatlinburg, Tennessee!!

A teacher gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it, and throw it in the hallway. The teacher then mixed all the balloons. The students were given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon, At that point, the teacher told the students to take the first balloon they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloon. The teacher said to the students, "These balloons arelike happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness, we'll find ours too." May your day be filled with happiness!🎉

This is fun

The Arboretum joins @lincolnparkzoo, @brookfield_zoo, @chicagobotanic, and @shedd_aquarium in co-signing today’s Chicago Tribune op-ed, opposing proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. These changes threaten the habitats of endangered plant and animal species, pushing them closer to extinction. 🌳 U.S. forest ecosystems are vital, supporting thousands of species and providing essential services like air purification, water protection, and resilience against extreme weather. Yet, we continue to lose critical forest cover, leading to species extinction. Our dedicated staff with the Arboretum’s Center for Species Survival for Trees collaborates nationwide to protect and restore these vital ecosystems. Read the op-ed: bit.ly/4j44rW0 If you’ve ever made a meaningful memory in nature, we urge you to help protect the Endangered Species Act. 📢 Submit your comments against the proposed changes to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service by May 19: bit.ly/3FbeIBR.
