As a #naturalist and #conservationist, I am deeply concerned about this decision. It is irresponsible, and robs future generations of their natural resources. This is yet another overstep of authority by an administration which believes it can act without consequence.
The Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri —particularly in our future home county where we recently purchased land— is affected by this decision.

Journa.hostIan James (@ianjames@journa.host)National forests are on the chopping block. Trump’s order to expand U.S. timber production includes all of California’s national forests. “This is a thinly veiled attempt to ramp up logging on our national forests, bypass environmental laws, and line the pockets of the timber industry.” https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2025-04-12/trumps-timber-production-california-national-forests

Green. The colour of nature. Grass, leafs, trees, plants.. Love how these birds blend in with their environment.

Meet the #Malaysian #Conservationist Devoting Her Life to Protecting #Fireflies. For Wan Faridah Akmal Jusoh, the night skies hold a sense of natural wonder and offer opportunities for citizen #science. My no #lawn #garden is full of #fireflies that arrived early, in June - they are delightful and pleased with the ecosystem I have created - lots of plants, bushes, trees, and a pond. Green rules. https://therevelator.org/protecting-fireflies/

I've volunteered at past work parties at #WellandCommunityOrchard in the past.
This Sunday, I'm taking Mom there for a Summer trees pruning workshop. It's free for seniors & disabled folks to attend 
Gather, harvest, and learn at one of the largest and most diverse #CommunityOrchards in #Canada. Once the backyard of local #conservationist Rex Welland, the #orchard is home to nearly 200 #FruitTrees and vines, including many rare varieties of apple, pear, plum, fig, grape, hazelnut, kiwi, paw paw, and more.
It was Rex’s vision to have his land loved, used, and #stewarded by the public, and since 2013 we’ve been working with the Town of #ViewRoyal to turn the orchard into a #CommunityResource.

Look for the June/July edition of Laguna Beach Magazine. Wyland shares info about his new coffee table book.
It contains docu-style reflections on his 45-year journey as an #artist and #conservationist.
The #Biden admin is expected to deny permission for a mining company to build a 211-mile #industrial #road through fragile #AlaskanWilderness, handing a victory to #environmentalists in an election yr when #POTUS wants to underscore his credentials as a #climate leader & #conservationist.

A #conservationist friend from #CostaRica told me that the #impact of #pineapple is supposed to be worse than #palmoil, cause pristine jungle is cut down & they have to grow completely without weeds > XXL use of pesticides. Pineapples from Costa Rica go mainly to Germany
You know how we #naturalist / #conservationist types encourage folks to #LeaveTheLeaves?
WELL, within just a few mins of playing in the front yard today, this guy hitched a ride. Also, so many worms under the leaves!
Is your lawn contributing to local wildlife?
