Hahaha love these guys

I’ve begun doing succession planting: Crowding plants - including baby trees & shrubs - knowing that I’ll have to selectively remove some as they mature. I’m sooooo much happier now. I no longer worry about how the trees and shrubs will be in 10 or 20 years. I just get to think about next year & enjoy all my beautiful babies.

Appreciate you wading through the cold water for us.

Will do. I have a local source of them in central Texas with more than enough to go around.

Slow but true, weaving a net for live. Weber is German for weaver.

Jesus saves!

I thought the bromeliad at around 4:20 was a dykia

Trying to graze in a desert is akin to trying to grow corn in the ocean... Well, I shouldn't give anyone ideas now, should I? I'm sure if America had coral reefs that 2% of corn crop could grow on they'd raze them just the same. Instead of "rescue" it's more like "salvaging." Taking something functioning and mighty that they're chosing to kill and just trying to get anything of value out of it before it's all _nothing._

I am from SW Texas and am a retired Archaeogist and a museum exhibit artist that had to create a huge relief map of Texas for THE UNIVERSITY of TEXAS. There is some good publications by UT Geology Dept. That deal with this area and THE UVALDE GRAVELS just to the north of your area that were a big mystery for a while but seems to be from The mountains of NM . Uvalde county has 28 volcanic plugs with basalt with tiny amounts of silver ore and gold .

"Little boxes on the hillside"🎶

Sometimes I wonder how many wonderful European habitats we destroyed and lost to history, long before I was born.

"This civilization is like a teenager; you just want to curse at them, but they just need to correct their behavior" "Change the society you live in" right before 21:52. I need millions of people to watch this video and hear him say that.

The USDA is *subsidizing* this ecological destruction? Call your Senators and tell them to STOP cattle subsidies!

Potholer54 supports a charity in Borneo that buys chainsaws from villagers to reduce the logging activity. I think it's Borneo. Might be Sumatra or another pacific rim island. That needs to be in his wiki. He mentioned it in his videos as something people can do in lieu of sending him money.

The atmosphere is mostly Nitrogen. It's weird that plants don't just get it from there. There's probably a physics/chemistry reason for it.

Helping the living world fight the human superorganism. I like it!

Thing to tell a spider you just ruined their home out of sheer curiosity: Can't you go back home? Do you need the little sack? It was already #$%#$! You built it on an eroding hillside of-of cretaceous marine sediments it's already .... sigh. This is not a stable environment to do that... to build your little home, you know?

Was this guy on the Sopranos? lol

I felt so bad when I sent AR a sample of a mushroom, that was so contaminated 😄 it was in my car for god knows how long

This is my favorite thing for today🤚🏻

Thanks

Call it plant recovery. In search and rescue, when a missing or injured person becomes deceased, the effort becomes a body recovery.

Here in tropical Australia I have many natives in my arsenal of chaos.

I love the cicada drone. Enjoy!

I didn't realize cows eat dirt.

I do have to add that the amount of botanical recovery is very slow compared to Hawaii. It might be due to the native plants adapted to the recovery part for the most part. Climate also has a huge effect. The more native species of that latitude aren't so well adapted for those conditions. It amazed me when I first moved to Hawaii that 50 to 100 year old flows could have so much growth and diversity ( invasive species helped with some of that).

Hey I take offense to that remark😂😂😂😂😜😜😳 I've been in Hawaii over 30 years ..... and....... Damn that's what I'd expect from you.🤙🤙🤙 I remember working breakfast at a resort and asking the guests what they were doing today. The obvious matriarch piped right up that they were going to "Hi low" I assured them that it was a wonderful day trip.... But.... I wouldn't say " Hi low" when I was on that side, it would greatly increase the price for anything they bought. They did thank me and also left a 20 percent tip🤙🤙🤙🤙😁 I was kind of sad I never saw them again after that morning. I would have loved to hear about their trip to "Hi low".🤔🤔🤔🤔😳

Thank You!

I am imagining a video of some Botany professor or student explaining the situation and showing the plants, but with none of the banter or accent or tats. None of that stuff. If they happened to see it I'd guess there would probably be one or two million Texans fingering their guns, blood pressure rising, from all this woke, ah, stuff. While nobody collects lichen real men don't care about plants, that don't pay. I'm serious when I say that more and more it will serve you well to pass as non woke almost everywhere you roam in the US. (I use that stupid word 'woke' reluctantly but hopefully you get the gist)

Truly a cool property!!!

"You can't bullshit yourself while you're on psychadelics." So fkn true my friend.

I'm definitely spiritually deflated. Is it any surprise that being born to a christian preacher didn't do me any good at all? Its nice to see what Dr. Terry has been up to in w. Texas. It'd be nice to actually see this place first hand myself.

"generally, more of a caucasian angle... vibe" lol

Ive been trying to ask people how much they would pay for 50 years of forest growth or whatever and then follow up with how much would it cost to not log and bulldoze the land. The west coast and the PNW is being absolutely devastated. Right now the primary use of timber on the olympic peninsula is woodchips and plywood. People just dont give a fuck and get real mad if bring it up. Better to not think about it I suppose.

For those of us who are actually pro-life, we can take solace knowing that, after we Homo "sapiens" self-asteroid, the rest of Earth's biota will be eternally grateful we're gone.

I know people dont like approaching this subject but a lot of this just comes down to the ever expanding population in this country (and others). Just clearing more and more land to feed and house more and more people.

In one sense, I agree with you that we can't blame the land owner for how they were brought or their environment. In another sense, I completely disagree for who else should we look to as adults? I do not look to push my faults on others, but fully accept the responsibility of my life as my own - any less would be childish. Your depiction of our society as a rowdy teenager seems spot on.

I remember them in 1990, grew up in Lyons and they where in the trillions back then. Have not seen it like that since. you couldn't walk down the sidewalk without walking on them

We’re cancer with a conscience, truly.

Their ego's have surpassed their humanity. Unfortunately by the way things look now. They will not stop until they destroy the planet. Their ego's won't let them stop. They don't care what happens after, because they'll be dead. & So will we.

Thanx for all your amazing work! What camera do you use?

The crushed white stone, the scalloped brick edging a pot of puny geraniums placed on a round cement circle …An example of the American Zen garden.

Actually an epic nursery, wow!

Hey Tony! Come murder my lawn! I can be found. Not in Texas, we volunteer in this state.

This shit is genius

Thank God for the thornscrub sanctuary. Donate!

im the enemy of anthropocentric worldview conservation s the key for survival be blessed

Love your statement about a "Country that get a bunch of mice to vote for cats" LOL So true... the billionaire class gets all the poor slobs to vote against their own interests.

god i love hemiptera!! my childhood summers in SE china were spent in fear of and fascination with them and their huge, noisy bodies. the annual cicadas there emerge in May. and while it was, to a 6-year-old, somewhat traumatic to have huge ass cicadas fly straight into your face (when they’re like 4 inches long and flying pretty fast it HURTS) the deafening, wheedling songs of horny bugs was -and still is - heaven to my ears.
