  1. "We wanted to give a peek into our research and the people who share these things with us. That was really special. We gathered and we created this mound together.

    "It takes so much time to process all these plants, and ultimately anybody who touches this plant and helps us is involved in our art. This material we processed together in the summer sustained our work all winter."

    #LoxaLucie Headwaters Initiative aims to buy #HobeSound land for conservation.

    by Timothy O'Hara, Jan. 2, 2026

    "At a time when development pressure is pushing north into rural Martin County, conservation groups want to protect a wildlife corridor between two state parks in Hobe Sound.

    "The Loxa-Lucie Headwaters Initiative was founded to protect the ecologically important corridor between #AtlanticRidgePreserve State Park and #JonathanDickinson State Park and connect the #LoxahatcheeRiver and #SaintLucie rivers. That would create a preserve for #NativePlants and #wildlife species that would span about 70,000 acres.

    "The public owns #Hapatiokee and #PalMar regional parks, but there are thousands of acres of privately owned land in natural conditions that are ripe for development, said Guardians of Martin County Executive Director Greg Braun, whose group is part of the initiative.

    " 'If they can connect the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia, we should be able to connect Jonathan Dickinson State Park to Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park,' Braun told TCPalm."

  4. @dubh When it's done right, people can make a huge difference to NZ's environment by spotting emergent weeds as they're beginning to establish.

    My favourite recent example is Dave Holland's discovery in 2020 of wild black swallow-wort on the edge of the Timaru Botanic Gardens. That was the first wild record of the species anywhere in NZ, and it's a wetland weed overseas. Timaru Council and Environment Canterbury staff stepped in with control, over several years, and now it's gone.

    That's one environmental weed nipped in the bud before it could get started.
