Today, I spent several hours removing deeply embedded steel wires, old insulators, and rusty nails from healthy trees on our private property—without any compensation.

I'm not a fan of damaging trees, and I try to avoid using them as fence posts whenever possible. That’s usually easy, since in most cases you can simply knock in wooden slats or posts a few meters away (carefully to not damage the tree roots). Conifers are generally robust and can tolerate some foreign objects, but they’re not invincible. If you absolutely attach insulators directly to trees, please consider the following guidelines to minimize harm:

- Don’t screw them in too deeply.
- Turn them out slightly over time to prevent them from growing in.
- Avoid drilling into the center of the tree—use the sides instead.
- Minimize bark damage as much as possible.
- Don’t use more insulators than necessary.
- Consider using stainless steel if possible.

Unfortunately, none of these precautions were taken in this case. The result was intentional and unnecessary harm to our strong and still-healthy spruce trees—trees that, thankfully, have not yet been infested by bark beetles.

Let’s do better. Trees deserve it.

In many indigenous cultures, the act of giving thanks and offering gifts to the Earth is a sacred ritual that acknowledges the deep connection between humanity and nature. La ofrenda a la Tierra is a powerful tradition that involves giving back to the Earth what it has provided whether it be food.

*Nature’s resilience knows no bounds, but neither does its capacity for reckoning. In the dance of give and take, we’ve taken too much, pushing the balance to the brink. Now, in the wake of disaster, let’s pause, reflect, and remember: our gratitude towards nature is not just a sentiment, but a responsibility we owe to our planet and future generations.*.”!!!*

Bay Area hikers, the snakes are already out. 🐍. My friend nearly stepped on a rattler when she and I were hiking this afternoon in a Contra Costa Open Space. I wish I could have snapped a picture, but my friend was startled and it was best to walk the other way. Be safe. Watch where your feet are and keep an eye on your dogs. Snakes belong here, too. #BayArea #ContraCosta #OpenSpaces #hiking #RespectNature contracosta.ca.gov/6781/Rattle
