Typically found in forested areas near a water source, minks have been known to utilize old dens of other mammals, such as muskrats. Minks are very active, and when threatened, can be aggressive – so if you happen to find yourself on the “brink of a mink,” be sure to exercise caution and respect for the semi-aquatic carnivore, also known as the “water weasel.”

Land trusts have already conserved 61 million acres of private land across the nation – more than all of the national parks combined. Yet, there is still much to be done with respect to saving biodiversity.
