We are very "water blessed" in the Upper Mississippi watershed, which makes our stewardship even more important for those downstream from our great northern state.

Ann Lloyd 4/30/2023 5:39 AMThe month ended with less than a bang (forgot to check in two Saturday's in a row), but what a great month of focusing on sustainability, learning lots of new things, getting outside and doing volunteer work, and connecting with my team! Way to go Emerson!!! -

Ann Lloyd 4/30/2023 5:26 AMI don't travel much by air so this isn't a huge sacrifice. I've enjoyed learning more about this facet of conservation though. -

Reflection QuestionClimate & Ecosystems Plant a TreeHow is planting trees good for your mental, physical, and spiritual health?
Ann Lloyd 4/30/2023 5:06 AMWe've had to take down several trees since buying our property (too old and failing or too close to structure -- various reasons) so I've still got a number to plant to "break even." -
Reflection QuestionClimate & Ecosystems Ecological & Xeriscape GardeningWhat ecological or xeriscape landscaping practices do you have? How has your landscape changed from these practices?
Ann Lloyd 4/30/2023 5:04 AMI am slowly converting my lawn to other types of landscape. I'm not willing to water grass like all my neighbors. We put a fence around all our garden boxes to keep out deer and put down mulch for the pathways. So much easier and looks nice!
