Wonderful talk from Wild Ones this afternoon on Resilient Landscaping with Native Plants; particularly relevant after this year’s crazy heat and drought.
Reports from all over the area are clear: native plants, especially local ecotypes, not only survived but even thrived. They’re working on much longer timescales than we are and this wasn’t their first rodeo. Planting these local ecotypes from local seeds is incredibly important!
#Louisiana #agriculture and forestry suffered $1.69 billion in damage due to this summer’s #drought and excessive heat, according to preliminary estimates by LSU AgCenter experts.
Long stretches of record heat and drought led to yield and quality losses and increased production costs for farmers of row crops as well as fruits, nuts and vegetables. Livestock producers dealt with animal health issues and struggled to grow adequate forage. Wildfires charred valuable timber.

Seven people were killed and dozens were injured in 158 vehicle crashes on a Louisiana interstate yesterday. Officials are blaming “superfog” for the pile-ups, a weather condition where moisture in the air mixes with smoke in a low-terrain area with light wind. In this case the source of the smoke was a nearby wildfire, reducing visibility to less than 10 feet. Officials are urging drivers to stay away from the area.

"Throughout his career, he has pushed Louisiana to restrict LGBTQ+ rights and block teaching of such issues in education, including at the collegiate level. Last year, Landry created a new tool for people to file complaints against teachers and libraries. He has also worked for the state to obtain information about Louisiana residents who travel out of state to obtain gender-affirming care or abortions."

"Landry’s victory hands Republicans full control of the state government for the first time since 2015, since his party also defended its large majorities in the state House and Senate.
The result will free conservative policy ambitions, which were held back over the last eight years by Edwards’ veto power."
