I just wish that people could see what can be done to restore habitat. It's the most rewarding and touching experience imaginable. It's both physically and intellectually demanding. Nothing in my life has brought me closer to the Lord. A person could want no more than to fall in love with a piece of land just for what it is, and could be with God's help.
Askel, you should have seen the irises and Fremontia lillies this last spring; they were everywhere. I started a biotic survey. So far we have 207 species of plants in one 14 acre parcel. It's extraordinary. And yet, there's a long way to go with many serious threats. I honestly don't know how we'll succeed without God's help.
This is a Fremontia Lily. They're about four feet tall.
Here are the flowers.
Hundreds of them, where there were none.
