Works For People Too

Yesterday you saw the results that Briar got from getting out on the grasslands. Well I am here to tell you it works for people too. 😉 And in case you didn’t know… yesterday was the first Wednesday of the month. So of course that meant taking a group to the grasslands! Had Briar spilled…

Up the Creek

Up the Creek

Yesterday I told you that we were blocked by the cedars down stream. Well, now back at the original access point we headed up the creek. And this was not the proverbial bad thing. 😉 So would we turn back? Find out tomorrow! NASA Advances Research to Grow Habitats in Space from Fungi Genetic Giants:…

Cool Beetle

A few years ago while out surveying on the grasslands, I came across this cool beetle. I thought it was a moth, but Suzanne who was with me, knew that it was a beetle. It does not look like the typical beetle. There are always new things to learn! Articles: The Alchemists Had It Right?…
