@edo_sid @ProjectLincoln Hell scent too

Humboldt-Toiyabe Forest Pinyon-Juniper burning, chainsaw & mastication "treatments" in northern Snake Range near Great Basin Nat'l Park. "Treatment" result: Mats of dense cheatgrass. Hot, dry, windy, weedy. Much more fire prone. Silent. No birds.

@PaleoLaura Beautiful!

[Lisa Ortega @Lisa4Trees]

@bitterwaterblue Such GREAT news! Lots of clearcut, dead everywhere. Wish I had a drone - some areas are HUGE. Great job. Tell me how to help stop this wasteful degrading action.

[Lisa Ortega @Lisa4Trees]

@WLDdefense HATE this work. They leave the resource p/j on the ground like it's trash. I hate the chaining, what an outrageous treatment. How many acres in that area? Utah border too! And, BTW, let's stay on those trails, ya hear?

[Lisa Ortega @Lisa4Trees]

@bitterwaterblue These last few years has had a dramatic change there.
:(

[Lisa Ortega @Lisa4Trees]

@NVJims @BasinRange Maybe not bladed, but it looks like it when they're done. Heavy equipment and construction destroys the habitat. Check out yellow pine.

[Lisa Ortega @Lisa4Trees]

@tsegerblom That's cool.

[Lisa Ortega @Lisa4Trees]

Ughhhh 4200 Joshua trees 😫

[Basin & Range Watch @BasinRange]

4,200 Joshua trees are scheduled to be removed are replaced by solar panels for the Aratina Solar Project near Boron, CA in June of this year. They will not be salvaged but funds based on the size of the tree will be placed in a mitigation bank.

[Lisa Ortega @Lisa4Trees]

@JessMagdefrau Mulga tree nice too!

[Lisa Ortega @Lisa4Trees]

@WelcomeHomeLV @JessMagdefrau Agreed Mike! Great small tree/shrub that has very low water requirements - a great match for a cactus drip program! Check out Mojave Bloom, a new desert plant nursery. They've got some less heard of plants that are fab!

[Lisa Ortega @Lisa4Trees]
