365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Plants Vs. Zombies In Real-Time
Day 24: The Nisqually Land Trust's annual Hallowe'en tree-planting event saw several Zombies obviously affected by behaviour-altering Hypno-shrooms working hard at digging holes and installing saplings in an area of Ohop Valley wetland. Most of the 45 participants in this project missed the memo regarding the dress code for the occasion, but it didn't dampen their enthusiasm. We planted 500-600 native trees and shrubs, including Baldhip Rose, Salmonberry and Oregon Ash, all especially selected for the wet-soil ecology of this newly-acquired property. It doesn't take BRAAAAAIIINS to understand the value of the work contributed by these volunteers, both alive and undead.
