Such a great drive yesterday. Looking all the life in Oak Ceek area. Quercus lobata, the magnificent valley oak 🌳 This iconic California native can live for up to 600 years, a testament to the beauty of nature's longevity. Standing tall in Tehachapi, its roots reach for the year-round groundwater, a true symbol of resilience. Nature's wonders never cease to amaze. 🌿 #ValleyOak #Roble #TehachapiBeauty #CaliforniaNative #NatureWonders #blackandwhite

As a California Native person, I am incredibly excited about these wonderful projects, run by & for California Indigenous people. We will finally improve K-12 education representing us.

@glightly @Kleen Hairy Vetch says the Seek app. Not native.

Of the six listed in the second screenshot, only one is native: Caterpillar Scorpionweed. I was able to use the app to identify a total of 18 plants, only 6 of which are native.

Made for a slow #mtb ride, but lots of fun!

Been on a long journey with the estate I'm currently landscaping. Had the gardners stop spraying herbicides and pesticides a few years ago, which has really allowed our native bee and insect populations flourish (and the weeds, oh my, the weeds!).
Had a first time visit by a Dutchman's Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly yesterday who hung around checked out all the flowers. Hope they find the Pipevine we planted along the fence 🦋
