14/x Use firewood sourced from your local area.

Don't take your local firewood with you when you go camping -- get firewood there.

Don't bring your leftover firewood back home with you when you're done camping -- leave it behind.

Don't move firewood.

I am looking for any evaluation of the % of invasive species present but undetected on a national or regional level. Bonus points if it's plants in a temperate area. Please RT.

Grabbed some samples on the way home from #forestgenetics2023 #CFGA #WFGA

Thanks to the organisers for a great conference!

Last month, @simonelimhing and I had the great pleasure of working with @c4tier and Dr. Janice Cooke at the University of Alberta. We chipped in a small piece to our hosts' great body of work dedicated to protecting lodgepole pine.

🪲 In the 90s, a mountain pine beetle outbreak devastated BC's pine trees. @CarletonBiology Prof. Catherine Cullingham is playing a leading role in a $6.4M project studying genetic resilience and mitigation strategies for lodgepole and jack pine. 🌲 https://t.co/HCLnaBubAa

Prairie strips are a farm conservation practice that requires minimal intervention and delivers huge benefits

By converting 10% of cropland to native prairie, farmers can reduce soil loss by 95%, total phosphorous loss by 90%, and total nitrogen loss by 85%

A quick summary:

@rhi_peery @jrossibarra We have to hammer first, especially for xylem. We flash freeze in liquid N2, hammer, and then mortar and pestle or mixer mill depending on how much there is

This week I came across what I assume is the first #yegheritage inventory prepared by the City of Edmonton, in August 1982. It identified 37 heritage buildings in #yegdt for retention. What's happened to them in the 41 years since?
