🙏🏾to everyone who reached out during the recent PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) Red Flag Alert in WA. All 20 of our dogs & staff are safe. We ran through our fire evacuation protocols in case of a Level 3 evac notice, & thankfully never got the call. Grateful to ALL the wildland firefighters.

How some dogs are trained to find native and invasive wildlife
Conservation dogs are used to help find both native and invasive species. We'll hear from two people who help train these dogs.

🐝 We've been bee-sy! Echo just detected not 1, but 2 bumble bee nests! BB nests are notoriously difficult to find. Every nest our dogs detect helps researchers learn more about where these important pollinators live. We're so proud of Echo helping uncover some of nature's best-kept secrets. 💛🐝

Cute dog pics anyone? This is Echo & Whisper, two of our #conservationcanines who are hot on the sniff for an endangered species. The going is tough, the fieldwork is intense, & searching for data on a rare species in logged old growth makes us sad, but at least our cowoofers are adorable 🥰
