Gentle Wildlife Safety Reminder
Look gently. Do not grab wildlife. Ask a grown-up before touching anything near a pond. Leave living things safe and cozy.
Never enter pond water without a grown-up. Do not drink pond water. Do not disturb nests, eggs, burrows, or wild animals. Real nature detectives protect what they discover.
