The document discusses efforts to preserve native plant species at the Gloster Arboretum in Mississippi. It proposes hiring a researcher to document rare plant species, adding milkweeds and wildflowers to support monarch butterflies, and improving plant identification labels for education. A donation campaign has raised $1,300 so far to fund the plant survey. The goal is to fulfill the arboretum's mission of preservation, conservation and education of native plants.

This document provides gardening tips and information about fertilizers for the month of January. It recommends planting trees, shrubs, and winter crops, mulching beds, pruning some plants, and cleaning tools. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of synthetic and organic fertilizers. Synthetic fertilizers can harm soil and water quality if misused, while organic fertilizers improve soil structure but have unpredictable nutrient availability.
Feliciana Animal Welfare Society News, May 2014Maypop Hill
The newsletter summarizes upcoming adoption events in May for the Feliciana Animal Welfare Society (FAWS), an all-volunteer non-profit that promotes humane animal treatment in East Feliciana Parish. It also announces a May fundraiser and requests donations for a silent auction. Stories are included about Max, a dog in foster care awaiting adoption, and the inhumane practices of puppy mills. FAWS thanks local veterinarians and volunteers who helped with a feral cat spay/neuter project in April.
This document summarizes the land use practices at Maypop Hill Nursery in Louisiana. It discusses using environmentally friendly practices like mowing high and slow to protect pollinators, and using vinegar instead of chemical herbicides to control weeds. The document cautions against using Roundup and other herbicides due to research linking them to health risks such as cancer, reproductive issues, and neurological diseases.
This document summarizes the land use practices at Maypop Hill Nursery in Louisiana. It discusses their focus on ethical land use and minimizing disturbance to nature. This includes mowing high and slow to protect pollinators, allowing certain "weedy" plants to exist for beneficial insects, and using natural methods like vinegar instead of chemical herbicides to control weeds. The document cautions that long-term exposure to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, may pose health risks like cancer, neurological diseases, and pregnancy issues.

This document summarizes the land use practices at Maypop Hill Nursery in Louisiana. It discusses their goal of disturbing nature as little as possible and some of the challenges they face from wildlife. Their main rules for ethical land use are to mow high and slow to protect pollinators, allow beneficial plants to grow, and tell visitors they are being good land stewards when questioned about tall grass. The document also discusses plants and wildlife seen on the property recently and explains that they do not use harsh chemical herbicides and pesticides, citing research linking glyphosate to health problems.
This document discusses the authors' approach to land management on their property called Maypop Hill. They allow native vegetation to grow undisturbed except for occasional mowing once a year or less. This supports local pollinators and wildlife. The authors note the environmental and safety benefits of less frequent mowing and limiting herbicide use along roadsides. They are working to restore their land after decades of conventional agricultural practices by replanting native trees and plants.
