This is how it all started! People want to learn about what’s on their property! I’ve spent the last 4 years knocking on doors educating landowners. They can’t appreciate what they don’t know about and that’s what the Native Habitat Project is trying to change! #nativehabitatproject #prairieremnants #grasslands #butterflymilkweed #monarch #pollinators #nativeplants #alabama #conservation

This is what conservation looks like and I promise you won’t find anything more fulfilling! #nativehabitatproject #NoMowMay #conservation #plantnative #nativeplants #DuluthTradingCo

Unfortunately these trees will sprout back and will have to be treated with herbicide to fully get rid of them! #nativehabitatproject #sciencevisuals #RxFIRE #conservation #bradfordpear #invasivespecies

It’s Invasive Species Awareness Week so head over to our website and check out our new shirts! #nativehabitatproject #bradfordpears #invasivespecies #conservation #sciencevisuals

Planting non native and invasive plants just because humans can eat them is not restoration. Many of the plants we eat are native to Europe and give very little benefit to native wildlife. The point of guerrilla gardening is to plant native plants that benefit ecology and help make cities and suburbs less of a biodiversity wasteland. Or help save a native plant from extinction like the endangered California hibiscus. Today we are going to try and stop the extinction of one of my favorite native flowers. We are guerrilla gardening the endangered California hibiscus, a beautiful wildflower that used to be common before colonization. And we are removing invasive plants like water hyacinths that are destroying native habitats. But if we don't save the delta from the delta tunnels, chinook salmon and the California hibiscus are doomed. Saving an endangered species is easy when people actually try. Water is life. No delta tunnels. #guerrillagardening #endangeredspecies #waterislife #rareplants #endangered #plants #nativeplants #hibiscus #garden #salmon #gardening101 #solanocounty #climateaction #river #creek #ecosystem #wildflower #restoration #seedstarting #rare #flowers #seeds #sacramento #LA #water #invasivespecies #pampasgrass #cattail #nativeplanttok #nativehabitatproject #delta

All grasses aren’t created equal!! There’s a huge difference between our native prairie grasses and the non-native turf grasses we’ve replaced them with. #nativehabitatproject #ecosystems #wildlife #conservation #grasslands #nativewarmseasongrasses

Can’t wait to get some barn owl families started! Barn Owl Box Company #nativehabitatproject #barnowls #conservation #birdhouse

Idk how many times i mentioned native species but it wasn’t enough! #NativeHabitatProject #nativeplanttok #plantnative

Even as a forester I’m so tired of the tree planting campaigns. If you truly believe there’s a problem let’s use some common sense. Here’s how ecosystems have changed.. we have more trees than ever, while we’ve lost 99.9% of grasslands, we have 40 million acres of mowed grass. #nativehabitatproject #ecosystems #climate #biodiversitycrisis #planttrees #grasslands #prairies

Blowdowns mean instant cover and an increase in food! Finding and marking those kinds of spots are huge for public and private land! #nativehabitatproject #onxhunt #whitetail #hunting #greenbriar #smilax #habitat

Signage is going up ASAP! This was going to be one of our main seed sources for Alabama ecotype butterfly milkweed. It’s a never ending battle against a mowers! #nativehabitatproject #flintcreekprairie #nativeplants #grasslands #conservation

Hope this explains things a little more! The Flint Creek Prairie will be back and better than ever next year we’ll just have to be patient! #nativehabitatproject #conservation #flintcreekprairie #grasslands #onxhunt @onX Hunt

I’ll never make ecological decisions based on what makes people happy. I’ll make ecological decisions based on what makes these ecosystems healthier and more biodiverse. #nativehabitatproject #onxhunt #grasslands #savannas #prescribedfire #uplandhardwoods #TSI #conservation @onxhunt

What you didn’t see is we’ve been putting your patreon dollars to work preparing this property for a burn this spring! #nativehabitatproject #prescribedfire #rxfire #conservation

Using the @onX Hunt app to learn the terrain means everything when you’re putting in this much work! This southeast facing ridge side is about to get a lot of sunlight and that’s going to make great winter bedding! #nativehabitatproject #nativehabitatmanager #onxhunt #conservation #whitetail

We figured the trails here would be enough to tell folks this is a Priaire until our signage was complete but we were wrong. Guess this is the time to double down on the invasives here! #nativehabitatproject #flintcreekprairie #conservation #grasslands #nativeplants #wildlife

We’ll soon have 3 managed populations of LPC in Alabama! A lot of that is because y’all bought the T-shirt!! #nativehabitatproject #leafyprairieclover #conservation #prescribedfire #RxFIRE

There were only two choices here and the wrong one was made. Time and time again we set an example for our children that money means more than the wild places on this earth. Now this will forever be an example of what not to do. #nativehabitatproject #development #leaveitbetter #conservation #grasslands #biodiversity #sustainability #Alabama

These are the kind of high quality ecosystems we’re saving and managing with yalls donations on patreon! #nativehabitatproject #conservation #grasslands #nativeplants #wildflowers #nativehabitatmanager #

Forget everything you’ve ever been taught! Grasslands and Native Wildflower plantings are not good tick habitats!! #nativehabitatproject #ticks #lymedisease #alphagal #grasslands #oklahomastateuniversity #prairies #RxFIRE

This is how blown down trees create perfect habitat for amphibians! #nativehabitatproject #amphibian #salamanders #bottomland #biodiversity

We’re letting people who couldn’t name 5 of the hundreds of native species they’re clearing make permanent ecological decisions.

A crime against Mother Nature ocurred in sacramento California. And people need to know. Two days ago at midnight 41 mature and old growth oak trees were logged, while residents of sacramento slept. Trying to hide the crime. These oak trees were over 250 years old. And they were logged for more unsustainable suburban sprawl. The mayor of sacramento says this happened so that kb homes could build affordable homes. That is a blatant lie. The riverfront homes here start bidding at 600 thousand dollars. Native oaks are the most beneficial native plant in California, these trees help support over 2 thousand species of wildlife. Including over 100 species of native moths and butterfly. They are a true keystone species that help countless endangered species survive. Without native oak trees there is no biodiversity in this state. That is why protecting them is so important. Protect oak trees in California. #environment #crime #sacramento #california #oldgrowth #oak #trees #sadvibes #suburban #invasivespecies #mustard #oaktree #redwoods #climatecrisis #treelover #wildlife #nativeplants #ecology #nativeplanttok #calltoaction #rareplants #ecosystem #extinction #endangeredspecies #climatejustice #urban #biology #botany #native #plant #conservation #nativehabitatproject #development #biodiversity #leaveitbetter #sustainability

What do y’all think? Should we be showing every prairie remnant that gets destroyed or should we keep a healthy balance of both success stories and losses? #nativehabitatproject #conservation #nativeplants #grasslands #aldoleopold

Cities and suburbs in California constantly landscape with invasive trees that smell like stank and monoculture grass lawns. Bradford pears are a horticultural atrocity used all over America where native biodiversity once was. Especially tacky hank hill suburbs. This trees are invasive and do nothing beneficial for native wildlife. You could be growing beautiful native plants like ceanothus. A nitrogen fixing plant that is extremely drought. When it’s in bloom the entire shrub looks blue , and is covered with native bees. I’m sick of smelling stinky trees every spring when we could be having yearly superblooms that look and smell good. Ditch the invasive stank trees and kill your lawn to plant a native ceanothus. #california #nativeplants #landscape #natureathome #lawncare #native #bees #ecology #learnontiktok #suburban #invasivespecies #bradfordpear #wildflowers #savethebees #nativeplanttok #botany #sacramento #sf #bayarea #cali #plantlover #superbloom #flora #guerrillagardening #generation #endangeredspecies #bumblebee #conservation #habitat #nativehabitatproject #indigenous #flowers #tree #trees #plantnative

Replying to @Texastic 🪳 Protecting and saving endangered species that depend on the Sacramento San Joaquin delta means protecting habiats that endangered chinook salmon depend on. And it means protecting cities and towns from erosion and flooding during winter storms. But the delta ecosystem is im crisis. While plants like the endangered hibiscus go extinct in the wild. Today we are going to show you how easy it is to stop the extinction of one of my favorite California native wildflowers, if people just tried. California native plants have evolved with fire for millions of years , and they depend on wildfires to thrive. Before smokey the bear and colonization the California hibiscus was commonly found all along the delta. But thanks to agriculture and Southern California the delta is being drained just like Tulare lake. Guerrilla gardening this wildflower is easy, even without wildfire. Liquid smoke is made from the smoke of wood burning. It contains all the natural smoke chemicals that wildfires have. Mixing a few drops of liquid smoke with hot water and some endangering hibiscus seeds, will trigger the wildflower seeds to germinate. Guerrilla garden these seeds and you will be helping a beautiful endangered wildflower that is endemic to only California. Saving a endangered species is easy when people actually try. No delta tunnels. Water is life. Plant native. #guerrillagardening #endangeredspecies #waterislife #rareplants #endangered #nativeplants #hibiscus #salmon #gardening101 #wildfire #climateaction #hibiscusflower #river #creek #ecosystem #wildflower #restoration #seedstarting #rare #flower #seeds #sacramento #la #water #invasivespecies #pampasgrass #waterhyacinth #nativeplanttok #nativehabitatproject #delta

Had a great time at Roundstone Native Seed last week! This field of Lance-Leaved Coreopsis was absolutely incredible! #nativehabitatproject #roundstonenativeseed #grasslands #biodiversity #plantnative #nativeplants #wildflowers

A whole generation of grandparents who grew up hunting quail will never get to share that experience with their grandchildren because of choices WE made. WE chose our own idea of “neat and tidy” over the native biodiversity in our country. Now those grandkids are making decisions and changing the way we manage these landscapes. We’re putting an end to some bad traditions to get back to our real traditions! #nativehabitatproject #grasslands #prairies #wildlife #biodiversity
