@rangemedia.co absolutely hate to be this guy, but that’s definitely a prairie dog, not our highly esteemed native Yellow-bellied Marmot!

Damn proud of my Spokane community today! #NoKingsSpokane

Fund for nature-friendly farming to be slashed in UK spending review Exclusive: Defra sources say scheme, which pays farmers to protect nature, will be targeted at ‘small farms’

Farmers trying to do the right thing are yet again getting frozen out by this government, which seems determined to make the wrong decisions at every opportunity.

What a breath of fresh air into my lungfish!

a poster is stapled to a tree and it says plant native plants, take one and plant, with a bunch of seed bags clipped to the bottom of the poster. The image on the poster is an illustration of a purple coneflower plant

I'm going to leave these plant posters up on the shop until midnight, then whatever is leftover I'm going to cut off the "take one and plant" portion of the posters and staple them up around the neighborhood and call it a wrap on this project for 2025.

State’s hasty swap of 200-acre Thorpe Property in Spokane should be reexamined • Washington State Standard COMMENTARY | New information has emerged about the deal. The Board of Natural Resources still has a chance to halt it.

It’s not every day you have a former DNR board member calling out the agency for mismanagement of conservation land. Today is one of those days though. Our community is pissed - DNR can help right the ship by voting to opt out of the exchange April 1st.

Boy. DNR’s Thorpe Rd exchange is the unwanted gift that keeps on giving. This entire exchange was predicated on misinformation and faulty arithmetic from the start. Talk about a golden opportunity that @wadnr.bsky.social has to opt-out of this exchange by April 6th - put this nonsense to bed!
