  1. A view of the pasture/orchard this afternoon when the water was on. Still bloom in the apples, everything else is done.

  2. Quiet moments behind the hustle and bustle of Rodeo weekend. It's so gorgeous that I'm able to forget the shiny trucks and Wrangler butts that have taken over my tiny town for the weekend.

  3. #UCDavis - Students Lead #HabitatRestoration at #RussellRanch

    Fri, March 20, 2026

    "At Russell Ranch, just west of campus along Russell Boulevard, a transformation is underway. What was once grazed #pasture and alfalfa field is becoming a thriving #NativeHabitat led by UC Davis students and funded by #TheGreenInitiativeFund, or #TGIF.

    "The Russell Ranch Slough Restoration Project, designed and implemented by the Arboretum and Public Garden’s Learning by Leading™ Ecological Land Management, or #ELM, team, is now at its midpoint. Site preparation is complete, invasive species have been cleared, and nearly 200 native trees and shrubs have been planted along the seasonal slough.

    " 'Projects like this show students that restoration isn’t theoretical. It’s something they can design and implement themselves,' said Miles DaPrato, environmental steward for the Arboretum and Public Garden and staff mentor for the ELM team.

    "Turning Working Land into #WildlifeHabitat

    "The 2.5-acre site sits within the #PutahCreek Riparian Reserve, surrounded by agriculture and rural residences. Rather than separating nature from working landscapes, the project shows how the two can work together — creating habitat while improving the ecological function of the land.

    "This past fall, students removed old livestock fencing that blocked #wildlife movement, prepared the soil, and seeded the site with locally adapted #NativeGrasses and #wildflowers timed to the first seasonal rains.

    "Over the winter, the team planted nearly 200 native trees and shrubs, including #ValleyOak, #Cottonwood, #Willow, #Elderberry and #Toyon. Temporary drip irrigation has been installed to help the young plants establish during their first critical summers. 'You can study restoration in class, but being out here actually doing the work is completely different,' said Keira Folkers, Environmental Engineering, 2026, and Kayden Delvo, Environmental Science and Management, 2026. 'You start to understand the land, the timing of the seasons and the decisions that go into every step.' "

  13. For anyone whom I caused concern by my recent post, I'm feeling much better now.

    "Touching Grass" illustrates joy directly following despair, a respite after sadness. It may be a dog's life, but between valleys of despair might be hills covered in ground cover green and fragrant enough to roll in.🐾

  14. (3/4) … less #irrigation expansion, a reduction in #pasture areas, and #forest recovery. However, such a transformation may require a policy mix (e.g. #education campaigns, product #labelling, price incentives) and the involvement of various #foodsystem actors… www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

  15. Mostly finished with chopping out cottonwood suckers. The view of the orchard/pasture is much better now and the geese gave their approval (or flexing dominance from a distance).

  16. The land is extensively used for agriculture and in this part of #Exmoor, #SheepFarming seem to be the main #industry and so large #fields and #meadows of #pasture are needed to feed them. In #Spring, the grass is a beautiful shade of #green.
