People still harvest wild mustard today. A Kumeyaay elder told me she couldn’t understand why people want to eliminate mustard in San Diego. “Just let me get up on the hill behind that Vons and pick it!“

I know of ways to remove fine fuels without burning barn-sized, soil-damaging piles.

@mhurteau.bsky.social Truly appreciate your sustained engagement with Tribes at Teakettle, starting almost ten years ago. What I saw there last month was a revelation. It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say the area’s restoration could be a turning point for the burn co-op’s development & evolution.

Likewise. We will be meeting with CWI soon to discuss next steps and hope to keep in touch with you. SSBC partners have seen a lot of trauma on the land. They’re not going to minimize or discount what happened at Teakettle but have ideas for triage and ongoing treatments.
