"Explore nature close to home" = understand, appreciate and become informed stewards of nature close to home - and hopefully, beyond. Such a critical concept for future stewardship of lands that are gradually being transferred to a generation raised more connected to technology than ecology.

Tim's question is one we've been asking for years. What do we need to do to help more of our amazing ornamental growers bring more natives into their inventories? And landscape professionals, how can we help you respond to customer demands for our plants?

Oregon's nearshore is a unique and vital part of who we are as Oregonians - to better protect and manage these resources, and understand how it is changing, we need to study it. From the kelp forests to the sandy beaches, our coast matters. How can we better understand the changes in our marine ecosystems? What strategies can we develop to mitigate human impacts? How do we support sustainable resource management and policy-making? Our 'why' is clear: To create a future where Oregon's coastal and marine environments are thriving. Through research, collaboration, and informed decision-making, we're dedicated to supporting science and information to manage this incredible resource for generations to come.

Did you know? Great Salt Lake is just one of many stopover sites that shorebirds rely on to fuel their long distance migrations. Across the Intermountain West, hundreds of people dedicate their time each April and August to counting shorebirds across 200 sites to better understand how birds are utilizing the ever changing landscape. The Utah portion of these Intermountain West Shorebird Surveys are truly a regional effort. With partners and volunteers across the West, we are working to put shorebirds and their habitats on the map. Much like our Great Salt Lake, California's Salton Sea is also facing environmental changes that impact shorebirds. This recent article from our partners at National Audubon Society explores the importance of these surveys for saline likes like the Salton Sea. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gjBPUzMi

It is time to stop the shenanigans in the restoration space and work together. Folks, you keep asking for opinions on words, filling surveys and so on, when there is already a consensus built by scientists around the world on what words to use and their meaning. The Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) advances the science, practice and policy of ecological restoration, sets the scientific principles, and nomenclature in this field of science.

Huge swathes of forest cleared to accommodate the railway, while inadequate planning resulting in several route changes mid-construction has led to cost overruns and unexpected delays, despite early warnings from environmentalists, academics, and civil society groups long before work began. Failure to match project ambitions with a long-term strategic plan casts doubt on the Maya Train’s environmental credentials and economic viability. Yet experts say the worst may yet be to come. After all, the fragile cave system on which the Maya Train is being built forms part of the largest aquifer in the world, which flows under the Yucatan Peninsula, and is the source of drinking water for roughly 5 million Mexicans.
