Bison mating season is underway on public lands. Male bison are particularly aggressive now, as they congregate in herds to compete, socialize and breed. Bulls are on high alert and can get aggravated easily. No matter what time of year, always stay further than 25 yards away!

Helitack crews serve as highly skilled and productive aerial firefighting resources. These crews are specially trained in the tactical and logistical use of helicopters for fire suppression, serving as a primary initial attack resource, often first on-scene to assess the wildfire. The U.S. Wildland Fire Service Boise Helitack crew is unique in the sense they are the only Interior-firefighting unit that operates a Type 1 helicopter for helitack operations. They respond to wildfires with a full complement of firefighting tools, 660-gallon water dropping bucket, and 12 firefighters on board – more than any other rotor-wing firefighting asset in the country. Their UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter is one of the most safe, effective, and efficient firefighting aircraft in all wildfire response. Like other wildland fire resources, they respond where they are needed most, supporting wildfire operations across the country.

Smokejumpers are among the most experienced and highly trained wildland firefighters, parachuting into some of the most remote and rugged terrain to conduct initial attack firefighting. Their courage, speed, and skill make all the difference when every second counts.

Cuteness overload! ✨These two coyote pups are playing at National Elk Refuge in Wyoming. Adult coyotes are never far away and watch over their spunky pups, being excellent helicopter parents. After learning how to hunt, the pups can survive on their own without their parents.

Got that spring cleaning itch? You're not alone! As the air warms and the ground thaws, wildlife is busy tidying up for the new season. Birds fluff up their nests, badgers swap out their bedding and rattlesnakes make sure their hunting grounds are just right. Video by NPS

We all need to blow off some steam. Your public lands are ready when you are. Whether it’s a short walk, a quiet morning of fishing or a full-on adventure, public lands offer space to recharge, reflect and release whatever’s building up.
