We often get calls about “orphaned fawns” this time of year. If a momma deer leaves her baby in/near your yard, consider yourself lucky! She knows it’s a safe place for the baby to hide from predators. Keep your distance and know that momma has not abandoned her fawn.Deer fawns are typically born late May to mid-June, and it is important to avoid disturbing them. It is normal for does to leave their young alone for long periods of time. When people see a small fawn alone, they often mistakenly assume it is helpless, lost, or needing to be rescued. During their first few weeks, fawns rely on camouflage and stillness to remain undetected.

Bushy Hill Nature Center

I know we did a little announcement a few weeks ago but I figured it was time to make it official.Hi, I am Glenn Paskiewicz, I am the new Bushy Hill Nature Center Director! I am very excited to be back in this great community and can't wait to get to start meeting the new families that have joined since I have been away.A little history about me for those that don't know. I started coming to camp around 2000. I spent one summer in day camp and then I spent the rest of my time as a camper in the Teen Wilderness Survival program. Being one of the first students to go through all the levels. I was also part of the first VIP program. My first summer on staff was around 2007. I did have to take a few years off in the middle during college. However I was able to come back during college in 2010 to lead the teen survival camp until 2012 when I graduated. At which point I became full time staff and became Indiginous Studies Director for the Nature Center. I worked until mid 2014 when I switched to building my own business in art and also working with other nature programs (and still Bushy Hill of course).Now I am back with a lot of new life experiences and am ready to help inspire a new generation of kids excited about nature and nature connection. I love making primitive tools and working with hand tools. I will be showing these skills to the teens in this summer's Scout program.My current favorite hobby outside of work is Disc Golf. You can always tell me your favorite course or what you are throwing. Peace,Glenn ...
