1/2 Hi! I’m a climate-smart agriculture advocate working for the environmental nonprofit @salmonsafe as the Farm Program Manager. As a wildlife biologist by trade, I find myself currently connecting folks at the intersection of working lands conservation and climate-friendly market developments.
@rangemedia.co absolutely hate to be this guy, but that’s definitely a prairie dog, not our highly esteemed native Yellow-bellied Marmot!

I'm going to leave these plant posters up on the shop until midnight, then whatever is leftover I'm going to cut off the "take one and plant" portion of the posters and staple them up around the neighborhood and call it a wrap on this project for 2025.

When shooting your dog in the face isn’t the worst thing you ever did.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

Boy. DNR’s Thorpe Rd exchange is the unwanted gift that keeps on giving. This entire exchange was predicated on misinformation and faulty arithmetic from the start. Talk about a golden opportunity that @wadnr.bsky.social has to opt-out of this exchange by April 6th - put this nonsense to bed!
In a letter sent today to @daveupthegrovecpl.bsky.social we argue the Thorpe sale approved by @wadnr.bsky.social should be canceled. The TLT proposal is in the best interest of trust beneficiaries and the local community, while preserving vital wildlife habitat. Read more: wawild.org/community-ef...
