🦌🌿 Wildlife Wednesdays: Spotted in the Park! 🌿🦌

Recently, one of our maintenance staff came across this adorable white-tailed deer fawn near the horse rings at Goodells County Park. While it may appear to be alone, that's completely normal!

White-tailed deer mothers often leave their fawns hidden in tall grass, brush, or wooded areas while they forage for food. During their first few weeks of life, fawns rely on their spotted coats for camouflage and will remain very still to avoid attracting predators. Their mothers typically return several times a day to nurse and care for them.

If you encounter a fawn while visiting one of our parks, the best thing you can do is admire it from a distance and leave it undisturbed. Human interference can cause unnecessary stress to both the fawn and its mother. Remember: if a fawn appears healthy and uninjured, it's usually right where it needs to be.

White-tailed deer are commonly seen throughout many of our county parks and are just one of the many wildlife species that call these natural areas home. Whether you're hiking, fishing, paddling, or simply enjoying the outdoors, keep your eyes open, you never know what amazing wildlife encounter awaits!

🛤️ Trail Thursdays 🛤️

A big thank you to the Trail Blazers Adopt-a-Trail group for their recent cleanup along the Wadhams to Avoca Trail! 👏

On Wednesday, May 6th, five dedicated volunteers helped clean the section of trail between Lapeer Road and McLean Road. The group reported finding very little trash along the route, a great sign that trail users are helping keep our parks clean and enjoyable for everyone!

The Trail Blazers shared how grateful they are to be part of the Adopt-a-Trail Program, and we want them to know how grateful we are for their continued support and volunteer spirit. 💚

Thank you for helping care for our trails and making a difference in the community!

🦉 Wildlife Wednesdays 🦉

A beautiful Great Horned Owl was recently spotted at Goodells County Park by one of our park patrons! The owl appeared to be a juvenile and was seen peeking through the brush near one of the park trails before taking flight deeper into the woods.

Great Horned Owls are one of Michigan’s most recognizable birds of prey, known for their large yellow eyes, feathered “horns,” and powerful hunting abilities. Juvenile owls can often be seen exploring nearby branches and brush as they continue learning important survival skills from their parents.

A special thank you to Stacey Edwards and her husband Gary for capturing and sharing these incredible photos with us! 📸
