Heres a short video I made of the Native Grasslands Restoration/Reclamation Course we hosted in June 2010:  I loved it! 

The next grasslands course is scheduled for September 11&12th.  See Eco-Courses schedule for details.

I was blown away by the weekend workshop on 'native grassland reclamation/restoration' at Clear Sky. I couldn't help but think of Buddhism's Four Noble Efforts and how it applies very much to land stewardship as well....

See the wholesome for the wholesome, and make efforts to encourage it.  See the unwholesome for the unwholesome and make efforts to drop it. 

The same goes with our property, which has been badly degraded by overgrazing and forest ingrowth from fire suppression since the 1930s.  I'm so excited to see the native plants we seeded this weekend flourish, and look forward to developing a master plan for our property's ecological health.

Heres to awareness, and encouraging the wholesome - in action, right under our feet.  The second grasslands course is on September 11 & 12 2010 at Clear Sky Center.
