Folklore's Green Man has long fascinated me, as a gardener/landscape architect, but also since I read a book connecting him to Santa Claus (??)

This story was my chance to write about the Green Man and coyotes, in a race between invasive and native plants.

Plus coyotes as icons of resilience

"In the fullness of time, the proliferation of #BCI technology throughout society is inevitable. What remains far from settled, however, is whether the prevailing approach to BCI will be non-invasive, or invasive, or some combination." #noninvasive or #invasive, that's the question.

"Our modelling estimates the clams are forming up to 30 tonnes of calcium carbonate daily in Lake Karāpiro alone.
[...]
The result? Impaired arsenic removal. Without stable calcium, flocs (clumps of particles) don’t form properly, letting arsenic slip through."

Puget Sound has crabs.

An invasive species of European green crabs, “one of the world’s most harmful marine species,” has been detected in the Salish Sea. They “damage bed sediments, leading to the loss of eelgrass, an essential habitat for Dungeness crab and Pacific salmon.”

The Tulalip Tribes reported “detection of a green crab in the southern Whidbey Basin at Mission Beach” earlier this year.

Get outta here, crabbies!

Celebrating a new day & beautiful #nature before the uncontrolled, #invasive species renders the planet uninhabitable.
And definitely not celebrating a #whitewashed #genocide by invasive, #religious whackadoodles 😁

I'll be thankful when #religion & the spreaders of this #plague on #humanity are wiped from the planet we love & need 😁💙 (too harsh?🤔😜)

Witch hazel is an ideal addition to Takoma yards

Birds, bees, caterpillars and small mammals all benefit when homeowners replace #invasive shrubs such as bush honeysuckle with our #native witch hazel. Learn more about American witch hazels in this blog post from the Friends of Native Trees in Takoma (FONTT).

So dump the nasty and invasive bush honeysuckle and opt for witch hazel instead! #NativePlants #Pollinators
