Remaining silent about the destruction of nature is an endorsement of that destruction.

It has been a crazy busy at work this past week. We’ve put a lot of effort into planning and coordinating our schedule for the up-coming fall. Sales events, speaking engagements, harvests, plantings, and restoration projects. So far we have plans for 4 sales events that are scattered across the state, 7 seminars/speaking engagements, and 3 major seed harvests, plus the normal farm harvests.



For this fall we also have the following restoration projects lined up:
1. Finish work on 80 acres of Coastal Prairie habitat near Houston
2. Continued River restoration along 2 miles of the San Antonio River
3. Planting 1,200 acres of Short Grass Prairie near Florence, Texas.
4. A 5 acre riparian planting in Austin
5. Riparian restoration work on several ponds near Brownwood, Texas.
6. Removal of a man-made pond-lake and recreate a creek bed eco-system, also near Brownwood.
7. Approx. 700-800 acre Coastal Prairie restoration planting in Deep South Texas.
8. A 200 acre Blackland Prairie restoration in North Texas.
9. And possibly a 100 acre restoration project in the Texas Hill Country.



It looks like it will be a hectic Autumn for us, but we’ll have the potential for doing some real good in the world. Right now, we’re trying to get everything coordinated, so when it comes time to do the work, everything will flow smoothly and easily.
In addition to all of this we are also entering the time of year when wildflowers seeds should be planted, so our mail order/website seed sales will also keep us busy. Every year we ship out tens of thousands of pounds of Native wildflower and grass seeds all over the U.S. and Mexico.

Maybe this Winter, I’ll have a chance to rest.
