  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. #InvasivePlant Factsheet: #BurningBush / #WingedEuonymus
    Euonymus alatus

    By Victoria Wallace and Alyssa Siegel-Miles, UConn Extension

    Identifying Features

    OVERVIEW: Fast growing, deciduous, multi-stemmed, woody shrub. Height 5-15 ft. tall. A popular ornamental known for its bright red fall color, it is still commonly planted along interstate highways, as hedges, and in foundation plantings. In woodlands, winged euonymus forms dense thickets, creating a heavy shade that blocks light to native vegetation.
    LEAVES: Opposite, simple, elliptical (football-shaped); 1-2 inches long. Dark green foliage with finely serrated margins turns vibrant red in autumn. Fall color is more pinkish than red in heavy shade.
    STEMS: Green stems with prominent raised, corky wings. Wings may follow the stem lengthwise or be slightly whorled around the stem. Stems become more heavily winged as they grow older. Some “escaped” cultivars lack wings.
    FLOWERS: Small, in groups of three, and yellowish-green; not showy. Appear in late spring.
    FRUIT: Showy cluster of bright red capsules - typically four to a cluster. Fruit pod splits open to expose orange arils with four red-orange seeds inside. Fruit ripens in fall and persists into winter. Fruit is borne on younger stems.
    REPRODUCTION/SPREAD: Reproduces abundantly by seed. Fruit is eaten and spread by birds. Can also spread locally through vegetative reproduction.

  5. Hi all, my #introduction post here...
    I'm a #writer & #editor of #fiction & #nonfiction. My first book was linked #shortstories. My upcoming book is a combo of #memoir, #naturalhistory #naturewriting & #conservation science, focused on a habitat restoration project I'm doing. I'm also #EIC of #ScoundrelTime literary #journal.
    I'd love to connect with journal #editors & #writers, all genres. Also down to talk about #nativeplants #invasiveplants #trees #pollinators. And not at all least, #dogs.
