The biosecurity officers' fight against fire ants and allegations of threats, harassment and stalking
A Glen Turner Déjà vu
“We’ve had threats of ‘If you come on my property, I’ll shoot you’. ‘If you try and come on my property, I’ll set my dog on you...Australian police are routinely escorting biosecurity officers onto private properties after they reported being threatened with dogs and guns. In cases when people were “incredibly hostile”, program staff would “proactively engage with the police to escort us and to keep the peace and to keep everyone safe in that environment, because we need to complete the treatment”

The environmental officer Glen Turner
was shot in Croppa Creek, near Moree in 2014 investigating illegal land clearing. "There is an interweaving between the physical murder of Glen Turner, and the ecological ‘murder’ of the brigalow through the voracious demand for agricultural land." Book review: ‘The Winter Road’ by Kate Holden

I need to stop procrastinating from weeding out the Siberian Squills. I never planted them. They just popped out one year and then kept coming back every Spring. I kept procrastinating from pulling them out and then they turned to seed. 😕 #LazyGardener
As climate changes, ecologic zones and habitats shift, and guess what? Who could have predicted this? Oh, right; EVERYbody. https://www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2025-04-23/as-new-england-waters-warm-invasive-sea-squirts-move-in
