A fine new #OpenAccess paper by my colleagues at NCF #ncfindia jointly with #agroforestry owners/managers, highlighting the potential of shade #coffee agroforests as native plant and seed sources to support #EcologicalRestoration and diversifying native saplings for agroforests themselves. This also holds the potential for more ethical seed and seedling sourcing and reducing the native seed collection impacts/dependence on #forest remnants.

Tropical #rainforests in the making... Saplings of over 100 species of native trees in the Nature Conservation Foundation #ncfindia rainforest plant nursery in the Anamalais being nurtured for #EcologicalRestoration planting in a couple of months. The nursery is housed in space provided by partner #TataCoffee.

A mataī seedling (Prumnopitys taxifolia), black pine. It's probably at least a couple of hundred years or more since seedlings of this species have appeared in this area south of the Wairau River.
The closest I've seen have been to the north in Pukaka Valley about 15km away.
Normally dioecious. I'm curious to know where pollen came from to pollinate this tree, and fortunate that this one's a female.
My (now deceased) father planted a tree 40-50 years ago, and now it's finally mature enough to fruit.
The irony is I never intended to return to my childhood home, but if I hadn't the property would have been sold, and someone would probably have cut the mataī down, unaware of its endemic status.
Although not endangered, these lowland podocarps are now uncommon and having one seeding in the Blenheim Ecological District is probably quite unique.

Welcome @ecotenet to @mastodon. Good to see this approach to foster place knowledge through #ecoregions. Do check out our effort in India to use #ecoregions as a framework to guide #EcologicalRestoration.

My mountain meadow restoration project (and my book about it) got a nice write-up in today's Washington Post! Article by Ashley Stimpson, photos by Matt McClain.
"Whyman was willing to bet that what she lacked in expertise she could make up for in enthusiasm..."

You probably see lots of authors pushing pre-orders – – that's because in the "biz" they're considered an early indicator of the life of the book in the world! That in mind, you can pre-order BAD NATURALIST now at 25% off!
Here's the link:
tertulia.com/book/bad-naturali

In box at the top, it says "Flash sale!" On a black background in large white letters, it says "25% off with code NATURALIST" in a pink bubble it says valid through December 4. In white letters, it says Tertulia the new co-op bookstore for avid readers. Is an image of the book cover which says Bad Naturalist in white letters, and One Woman's Ecological Education on a Wild Virginia Mountaintop in yellow letters. There is a collage style paper showing blue Mountains and an orange sky in the background with a green and yellow meadow in front. In the foreground is a person in a hat, holding a journal, and a black poodle stands nearby.

Downloaded a book last night and began to explore it, "Native Plant Agriculture Volume 1".

For those with culinary interests, it includes photos of meals made and enjoyed with many of the plants. It is currently out of print, but should be available in hard copy again in 2025.

Would love to get reviews/wisdom from #Indigenous people about this book.
