Dude. Urban Forestry job in Boston accepting applicants, salaried ($62k) and benefits, plant trees and talk about trees and learn about trees and tend trees. Trees!!!

Sorry for lack of posting for a few days, had field work (surprising, I know!) and so I made the most of a few days to study the Earth, leaving my computer at home.

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled #MarshMadness ! It is now day 13! Enjoy this pretty marsh landscape on the edge of a forest from the southern US.

There is so much beauty here, so much life to protect, where the EPA is weakened let's get our states to step up! Nature access is bipartisan, everyone wants to partake, so make sure to be contacting even your republican reps on these issues. The only ones who want to destroy it are the billionaires.

I’ve painted birds in my Perpetual Journal so many times recently that I started a blog mini-series entitled All About Birds. Here’s my latest blog post, the 1st in that series:
