		<title>Kids Can Make Lenape Coil Pots at the Ocean County Library This Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WILD Jersey is bringing a new program to several branches of the Ocean County Library this summer. There&#8217;s still time to register your child for the Lenape Coil Pots program. Children will learn how the Lenape, NJ&#8217;s indigenous people, lived long ago. We&#8217;ll talk about what the Lenape ate, how they made their clothes and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Mow the Violets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m surrounded by suspiciously green carpets of turfgrass. There&#8217;s probably nothing worse for wildlife than a weed-free, well-fertilized yard of turfgrass. Most of my neighbors probably cringe at the sight of my yard, with its sprawling patch of weeds. I don&#8217;t care. From an insect&#8217;s perspective, my &#8220;lawn&#8221; is paradise. Bees are already foraging on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally, a New WILD Jersey Website!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you can read this, it means I&#8217;ve finally finished a project that&#8217;s been on my to do list for way too long. I&#8217;ve been itching to redesign my website for the past several years, but as they say, life kept getting in the way. I&#8217;m happy to cross this off my list, at last. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Birds Fly in &#8220;V&#8221; Formation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scientists believe the &#8220;v&#8221; formation gives large birds an aerodynamic advantage that helps them conserve energy. French researchers measured the heart rates of great white pelicans, and found their heart rates slowed when flying in this formation. They were also able to glide more often. The birds can flap their wings in unison, and draft [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hoarders Prepare for Winter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most people have seen squirrels hoarding acorns and other nuts as winter approaches. But did you know that many birds are also hoarders? The white-breasted nuthatch, seen in these photos, is an accomplished hoarder. Nuthatches empty feeders quickly in the fall, removing one seed at a time and stashing it for a winter meal. They&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cricket Invasion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Around this time every year, you probably notice black or brown crickets sneaking into your home and school. Sometimes, your only clue that crickets are in your house is the incessant chirping from the basement. A few days later, you find cricket carcasses in corners and under boxes. So what drives these insects into buildings [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Birds Migrate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During the cold winter months, many birds simply can&#8217;t find enough food to survive in northern habitats. Insect-eating birds, and some that rely on certain berries or seeds, will head to warmer climates where food is always plentiful. So why don&#8217;t birds that live in the warmer climates just stay there all year? In summer, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fall Foliage Facts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The amount of daylight (photoperiodism) prompts the color changes in leaves, not cooler temperatures. As days get shorter, trees use less chlorophyll. All that green pigment starts to degrade, revealing the other leaf pigments. Trees with leaves that always turn yellow include tulip poplar, birch, hickory, and redbud. Some trees have leaves with high amounts [...]]]></description>
