Mexican pygmy grasshopper (Clypeotettix mexicanus) on the banks of the Mississippi River. Like many species in the Tetrigidae it grazes on stranded river algae, so that's why it was there. In related news they are fairly good swimmers compared to other grasshoppers, in part due to expanded hind tibiae. Apparently not uncommon to find them partly submerged and seemingly pretending to be frogs, complete with fake poison glands. Some species carry extra air below the pronotum so that they can stay submerged. Vacherie, Louisiana. #grasshoppers #algae #riparian #tetrigidae #insects #nature #louisiana #nature #macro

What Can Humans Learn From Beavers When It Comes To Drought-Proofing The Landscape?
(A collaborative working in Rocky Mountain National Parks [Colorado] shares the ways its work in the Kawuneeche Valley could help in bad droughts like this year.)

#California - #RoseCreek #HabitatRestoration
April 17, 2026 - 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
#PacificBeachCA 92109
"Join the #SanDiegoBirdAlliance and #FriendsOfRoseCreek for #riparian habitat restoration.
Thank you San Diego Bird Alliance for leading the third Friday work parties.
During this maintenance event with the San Diego Bird Alliance, we will be removing invasive species, potentially watering new, planted native plants and learning about the riparian habitat. More than 30 species of #birds depend on this space during this time of year. Help us provide healthy #biodiversity to support all the wildlife in the area.
What to bring: Refillable water bottle, close-toed shoes, weather appropriate attire, hat and sunscreen
What is provided: All necessary tools, snacks and water.
The Native Plant Garden along Rose Creek was started in the 1990s by The Nature School. Help us care for and expand this special place."

The burn hidden in the allotments which is slowly being cleared of rubbish. I’m trying to work out what to do along the bank - it’s very bare and is crying out for some willow, but it’s also developing into a bit of a desire path. Ideas welcome! #allotments #gardening #riparian #naturewriting

#Moss covered big leaf maple trees are the main tree species growing in & around the trails & #riparian zones at #HeadquartersTownsite Park in #Merville on #VancouverIsland.
This is a view of part of the #TsolumRiver.
In 1964, Mount Washington Copper Mining Co. moved into its watershed & built a copper mine. By 1966, they left the area after extracting 940,000 tonnes of waste rock. Even though mining lasted only 3 years, repercussions of the mining practices can still be seen today. What was once a river that was sprawling with 15,000 coho salmon depleted to only 14 by 1984. In 1997, Tsolum River Task Force was formed by over 200 local residents with the goal of restoring Tsolum River's health & productivity.
The river previously supported large populations of salmon, steelhead & cutthroat trout & contributed significantly to the local economy. The economic benefit to the community, in 2007 dollars, was estimated at $2.7 million annually. Past remediation efforts have contributed to improved water quality in the Tsolum River. However, further improvement is needed in order to allow restoration of the fisheries resource.
A 6-ways partnership was founded in 2001 between the BC Ministry of Environment, Timber West, Tsolum River Restoration Society, Pacific Salmon Foundation, Environment Canada & Fisheries & Oceans Canada.
This partnership led to a successful wetland project, which reduced the copper levels to the point that fish stocks have now returned to the Tsolum River. The wetland has a limited life of 5-10 years, after which copper leachate will again impact the emerging fish populations.Recommended reading:
