Many of our snakes are non-venomous and serve a beneficial purpose.

EPA's definition of Environmental Education:

This definition fits in very well with the mission of North Carolina Cooperative Extension, which is "to help individuals, families, and communities put research-based knowledge to work to improve their lives."

Just how long have environmental rules and regulations been in effect in the US?

"There shall be no man or woman dare to wash any unclean linen, wash clothes, nor rinse or make clean any kettle, pot, or pan or any suchlike vessel within twenty feet of the old well or new pump. Nor shall anyone aforesaid, within less than a quarter mile of the fort, dare to do the necessities of nature, since by these unmanly, slothful, and loathsome immodesties, the whole fort may be choked and poisoned."
Governor Gage of Virginia, Proclamation for Jamestown, 1610

Summertime Health Reminder:

While working outside during the hot days of summer, remember to watch for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The following Heat Index chart indicates how the apparent temperature (what it feels like to your body) changes relative to changes in air temperature and humidity.
