Assembly committee advances bill to change management objectives for demonstration state forests After hours of testimony and sharp exchanges between environmental advocates and forestry groups, the Assembly Natural Resources Committee voted to send AB 24 94 to appropriations as amended. The bill would shift the management focus of California's demonstration state forests toward biodiversity, carbon sequestration, tribal co-management and research.

A groundbreaking bill aims to transform California's demonstration state forests from timber-centric management to a focus on biodiversity, carbon capture, and tribal stewardship.

Ecologist defends wetland delineation and says mitigation will yield a net functional gain Senior ecologist Ryan Kahlo testified that October delineations followed Corps guidance using primary and secondary hydrology indicators, that disputed data points do not meet wetland criteria, and that the mitigation plan (including converting low‑functioning lawn to native plantings and open‑graded docks) yields a net functional gain exceeding impacts.

Ecologist Ryan Kahlo's testimony reveals that rigorous wetland assessments and innovative mitigation plans promise a net functional gain for Lake Forest Park's ecosystems.

Throwback to 2023 when I grew #tithonia. I love it & so do the monarchs, but it takes SO long to bloom. Maybe I'll try to start some in March. Native to the southwest US & Mexico so I call it a #nativeannual here. #bloomscrolling #nativeplants #nectarplant #ecoregion50ae #biodiversityconservation

WDFW: western snowy plover numbers rise but hatch rates remain low; agency readies 2026 monitoring and outreach At a Feb. 12 Wildlife Committee briefing, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife shorebird lead Allison Anholt said statewide counts and banding show recent gains and range expansion for western snowy plovers, but egg‑stage failures left hatch rates at 17% (2024) and 20% (2025).

Western snowy plover numbers are on the rise in Washington, but alarming hatch rates of just 17% and 20% reveal significant challenges ahead for their recovery.

VTrans reports pilot pollinator plantings and rotational mowing; FHWA $150,000 grant status unclear VTrans described seed mixes, native plantings and rotational mowing to support pollinators across the state, reported 28 pollinator seed projects, 31 plantings and over 16 acres since 2021, and said a $150,000 FHWA roadside pollinator grant was awarded but Vermont was later told it was not on the initial list moving forward; the agency stands ready if the opportunity reopens.

VTrans is cultivating a vibrant future for Vermont's pollinators with innovative seed mixes and strategic mowing practices, but an anticipated $150,000 federal grant hangs in the balance.
