    Creek riparian restoration

    Went out on a field trip this morning participating in a public education tour of a riparian ecosystem restoration project that a team of specialists completed a couple of weeks ago. I was the "logger" for the project, cutting and removing about 100 tons of liability biomass - Siberian elm, tree of heaven, and salt cedar - all damaging invasive species. About 750 natives were planted and mulched with some of the biomass I ground up for that purpose. About 1/3 of it I'll make into biochar, 1/4 will be firewood, and the rest will be mulch to be used at our farm, which border the creek. The migratory birds are just beginning to return, and the cottonwood trees and willows are leafing out. Saw a red-tailed hawk, a turkey vulture, and a black hawk - the hawks use the big cottonwoods for nesting.

    Good work, my man!

    But Contards don't care about that pansy enviro stuff, you should know this.
    They rather would see piles of dead $#@!es, and blown up abortion clinics, and corrupt USSC justices.

    Please tell me you are really a Conservative playing a role intended to make Liberals look like drooling idiots.
