#BorderWall Construction Triggers Tree Sit to Save Ancient #Arizona #Cottonwood
For Immediate Release, July 29, 2026
Contact: Russ McSpadden,LOCHIEL, Ariz.— "Protesters today climbed into an ancient cottonwood tree in Arizona’s #SanRafaelValley to stop the Trump administration from cutting it down for construction of two parallel 30-foot-tall border walls.
"The action comes after Department of Homeland Security contractors cut down three neighboring Fremont cottonwoods estimated to be 200 to 250 years old.
" 'Destroying these ancient cottonwoods is a death sentence for an entire ecosystem,' said Russ McSpadden, Southwest conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity. 'These magnificent cottonwoods survived centuries, nourishing wildlife through floods and drought, only to be bulldozed for the Trump administration’s disastrous border wall. The San Rafael Valley is one of the most biologically rich landscapes in North America. It’s both a refuge and crucial corridor for #jaguars, #ocelots, #BlackBears, #pronghorn and hundreds of bird species.'
Today’s action is believed to be the first tree sit aimed at stopping U.S. border wall construction.
"The three cottonwoods cut down earlier this week stood along a rare stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border where mature trees once formed a #transboundary canopy. The trees provided nesting habitat, shade and shelter within an increasingly scarce riparian #ecosystem that supports hundreds of animal species. One #protester was arrested Monday while trying to protect those trees and nesting #MigratoryBirds .
"Federal officials said preconstruction surveys would be conducted during Arizona’s active #nesting season, but observers at the site reported that no surveys for nesting migratory birds were completed before the trees were destroyed.
"The area also contains prehistoric #ArchaeologicalSites that preserve evidence of thousands of years of #Indigenous presence in the borderlands. Ongoing construction threatens cultural resources that would be permanently lost if disturbed.
"The Department of Homeland Security is constructing the #BorderWall under authorities that waive dozens of the nation’s cornerstone environmental and cultural resource protection laws, allowing construction to proceed without reviews normally required under laws including the National Environmental Policy Act, the #EndangeredSpecies Act and the National #HistoricPreservation Act.
"In a letter sent today to the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Center called for an immediate halt to construction in the #Lochiel area. The letter urged the agencies to conduct comprehensive biological and cultural resource surveys, consult with Tribes with ancestral and cultural connections to the San Rafael Valley, protect the remaining ancient cottonwoods, and assess the ecological and cultural resources at risk."

I've designed, refurbished, and zhuzhed up many interiors in my life, but perhaps my favorite is the primary bedroom of my first house in Pennwood, based on a set of Sears linens. Forty years later, I painted the hallway of our retirement home with these same stripes, only in different colors. #home #homedesign #design #interiordesign #interiordesigns #interiordecorating #interiordecorator #interiordecorators #nesting #homemaintenance #maintenance #painting #sherwinwilliams #paint #interior

#Nesting is the term for organizing parts for cutting from a surface in the best possible way, saving material and/or time. There are very expensive tools for it, because it's crucial for many industries, and from time to time I have a look at the landscape of free and open source software for this.
A quick search today surfaced two very cool tools:
- https://deepnest.io/ Linux, Mac & Windows
- https://svgnest.com/ online, browser based

Rob has given the #BirdoftheDay theme as #Nesting, and I watched this Osprey come in from a distance - not sure what they were carrying, but it certainly didn't look like a fish. Something fancy for the nest! #Birds #ecl 🪶

The crows are choosing violence!
🐦⬛
There was a woman cowering ahead of me in the park with her dog as the crows were dive-bombing me. She and her dog seemed traumatized as the crows were dive-bombing them before I arrived.
Guess I gotta change up my route to and from work to avoid the park.

It was raining this morning, and Garfield the cat was making funny noises in the front bedroom window.
We checked and chuckled: a baby blue jay was practicing flying under parental supervision on the porch out of the rain.

Anna’s Hummingbird mom is feeding her nestlings; they’re about 5-6 days old, still naked and blind. She sits on the nest to keep them warm, they can’t regulate their body temperature. The nurturing instincts of hummingbirds are truly captivating.

"How Do Fish Know How to Build Nests?
Is it nature or nurture?
Birds do it, bees do it, even African fish do it.
Nest building is behavior displayed by all kinds of species, but how do they know how to construct these refuges? A new study of African cichlids published in Current Biology investigated their nest-building skills—and revealed a fascinating interplay between nature and nurture."
