Still thinking about this story this morning. Supposedly the creature comforts of even the poorest Americans keep us from revolting as the scales tip further.
Indigenous communities across the country have been fighting to get back land once promised to their ancestors. The Prairie Band, one of the latest tribes in the Midwest and Great Plains, won their fight earlier this year.
I love visiting my AMF inoculation experiments across every season. AMF diversity supports forbs, and floral diversity across seasons keeps wildlife thriving year-round. These New England asters still blooming in October host orange sulphurs, monarch butterflies, and some busy bees!
I recently completed interviews for an open conservation position and almost every candidate got into the field because their parents took them outside when they were children.
I don’t think the broader US natural resource field will recover from the last 9 months. Colleague after colleague across agencies furloughed, fired, or targeted cancellation of all funding. Conservation is cooked folks but there’s still hope at the private, local and state levels.
