Practicing ecological design and urban food forestry in sunny California. Wildness, the garden, intersections between.

Tweeting just to let our far-flung colleagues @adapples and @ApplesandPeople know that we're still growing and loving apples here in California: https://t.co/PzIi31jYlQ

Loving the emblematic imperative of these sort of high profile rewilding projects.

We are so inspired by our Ambassador Jacques Pitteloud @SwissAmbUSA, an avid birder, who is determined to turn the residence grounds into a #biodiversity haven. 🌱🇨🇭💚 https://t.co/0VsnH4E8qn

@donlemon It's probably best not to directly link scam URLs. Twitter is now sending this out in their trending emails, styled as if you're actually promoting it.

Baldomero shared this photo as he prunes almond trees in Ceres CA. He prunes 25-30 trees an hour depending on the size. When you buy almonds for your snack or almond milk for your shake, remember the skilled work of farm workers like Baldomero. #WeFeedYou

@votescount Cute dog and cute joke, but really you shouldn't let dogs "guard" county polling places, just like you shouldn't let militia gunmen guard polls. Not everyone is comfortable around dogs, and this is differential across demographics.

5' x 5' canvas. Field kale diversity at 3300' in California's Central Sierra Nevada this afternoon. Most were unprotected through our big winter storm. Diversity means resilience, a fundamentally holistic trait.

Cereal-centric conservation strategies are as dangerous as cereal-centric intensive agriculture!!

[Andy Moskowitz @andym]

Surely once someone's pride and joy, these relict trees--some of them wizened seedlings--are destined for the axe. I wonder how much agricultural biodiversity is lost as smallacre homesteads are swallowed by urbanization on one end, and monocultural con… https://t.co/GnBJosdyQl
