Wildin' Out

Two thousand twelve was the Year of Consciousness. We, individually and collectively, should continue re-learning the connections that we have with each other and Mother Earth, including, how we think about the plants in our neck of the woods.

We should create edible landscapes and wild areas in our yard...we should consider eating wild edible plants (sometimes wrongly called weeds or a nuisance); understand the importance of food, water, and shelter for pollinators—not just European honeybees; and understand the importance of meadows/prairies/grasslands and wetlands, not just forests.

We should also become familiar with the whole ecological system—Ecosystem Management: The New Tool of Land Managers? [http://culter.colorado.edu:1030/~tims...]
