I especially like the information about the pocket gophers and the recovery of the Mount St. Helens ecosystem. That is amazing how Nature not only recovered, but improved conditions from the pre-eruption days. Thanks for sharing, Robin.

Thank you, Neil, I agree, the pocket gophers are amazing and deserve a raise and their habitats! I appreciate your comments, and our connection with nature!

Dear beloved NATIVE creatures are the pocket gophers who live in my gardens aerating the soil and providing nutrients for trees and plants. Sadly, they are persecuted by some who poison them and other NATIVE species

You are right, sadly, poison is available to people who think that is a good idea, when clearly, it isn’t. Thank you for all your work, and John’s, to protect and conserve the critters and their homes. May a great awakening happen and may poisons and lack of care be things of the past! XX
