Como parecerá uma cidade a funcionar como uma floresta?

In my newly copious unscheduled time, I’ve been working with Margaret Chatham on invasives removal at #TNC #TheNatureConservancy 's Fraser Preserve, at the tippy-top north end of #FairfaxCounty. Last week and today we focused on turning #RosaMultiflora stems into brush piles. The snow didn’t slow us down much, but my dogs did get a bit frosty.

The other day I got to hike the Boardwalk Trail at the #Waikamoi Preserve on #Maui, owned by #TheNatureConservancy. Untrammeled native Hawaiian forest is a rarity, so I savor these opportunities to go birdwatching in the last remaining haunts of the endangered #Kiwikiu and #Akohekohe (tho I struck out on both this time).

Most visitors to #Hawaii are unaware of the fact that they've probably never seen a native Hawaiian forest bird.

Some spinner dolphins, just for the love of them. Not sure Mastodon will work for me, but happy to find others working on marine conservation science or any of the hashtags:

Time to get outdoors with #TröegsIndependentBrewing and the release of its Trail Day Dry-Hopped #Pilsner, a special limited-edition #beer benefitting Pennsylvania’s Kittatinny Ridge, with a portion of the sales proceeds donated to the Tröegs Trail Day Fund with #TheNatureConservancy.
