Get Out!

• Try the taste of spring. Redbuds start blooming in late March. Their blossoms add a pop of color and tangy flavor to salads.
• Many Missouri turtles become active in late March. You can help turtles cross the road by carrying them in the direction they were headed — but only if it’s safe to do so.
• Walk a trail to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells, and textures of spring.
• Songbirds are returning to Missouri. Keep them from flying into reflective windows by sticking easy-to-remove painter’s tape or decals to the outside of big panes.
• The youth portion of Missouri’s 2021 spring turkey season is April 10 and 11.
