"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."

That's a surprising amount of engagement and a resounding result. No bamboo!
‐----------------------------
Is clumping bamboo well behaved or just a Trojan Horse to takeover all it can? Will I end up with a privacy screen or an invasion?Feel free to boost to spread this like bamboo, also feel free to provide anecdotes, scientific names, etc!

Another photo from early this morning, walking the Dahl Playfield Park loop: the east side is mostly Himalayan blackberry bushes, which are not allowed anywhere else. People come in late summer to gather berries.

#Florida #WildlifeCorridor linking #StateParks would thwart #development
#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."

Spent the weekend pulling a dense hundred foot stretch of scotchbroom ( scorparius) growing along a road berm, in a watershed that until recently has been remarkably free of invasive plants. Scotchbroom is not only a fire hazard, invasive, poisonous to live stock, (deer are smart enough not to eat it) it also messes with the soil pH. It makes soil in my area so acidic almost nothing but moss will grow. After eradication, soil can take years to recover. It screws up phosphate availability, and i suspect it puts out allopathic chemicals in it roots to deter other plants. I eradicated a patch 20 years ago, and today the only thing growing there is moss.
Scotchbroom removal can be daunting, especially using an old school, clunky, extremely heavy weed wrench. Id been thinking about what to try planting in place of the scotchbroom. What kept popping into my mind was Toyon, and perhaps Ceanothus douglisiana. Toyon sprouts easily if you soak them in hot water overnight. I had no idea if they'd take but thought I'd try.
I started pulling scotchbroom, exposing the mostly barren soil beneath, but i noticed a few other green seedlings scattered among the broom. Curious I looked to see what species they were, I discovered they were Toyon, and a solitary ceanothus douglisiana.
I swear the plants in my watershed talk to me, telling me what to plant, and where, and I mean this literally , not metaphorically. I ask a question, what should i plant, they answer "Toyon and Ceanothus"
Toyon is a CA native, a beautiful shrub with bright red berries that are an important winter food source for birds. Recommended for landscaping because its relatively fire resistant, and drought tolerant. The flowers of Ceanothus , also known as wild lilac produce an indescribably delicious aroma favored by bees.
