  • Northstar Fire Department, Fire Resistant Landscaping Plant List
    Northstar Fire Department, Fire Resistant Landscaping Plant List Many common plants naturally resist fire and can even slow its spread. In general, irrigated and well maintained leafy plants burn slowly. By replacing highly flammable vegetation with these fire resistant recommended species, you can significantly improve the statistical survivability of your home when a wildfire threatens. Courtesy of the “Villager Nursery” in Truckee, this list of fire resistive plants should be considered when enhancing or adding landscape. Here are some other key components to remember when selecting appropriate fire resistant landscaping plants. Choose plants that don’t produce much litter such as dead branches and twigs Plants that produce oils, resins or waxes should be avoided When planting from the approved list, appropriately space plants to prevent fire spread Never plant under conifer trees, this can create a ladder effect which allows smaller ground fires the ability to transfer into larger trees creating crown fires To help ensure their fire resistance, plants must be maintained, watered, and pruned. Routine care will provide you with an attractive defensible space landscape and help ensure the survival of your property in the event of a wildfire. Northstar Fire Department enforces both State and District fire codes that may directly affect your landscape. Northstar Fire Department recommends that prior to changing your landscape you consult with us in order to make sure your property will be compliant with applicable fire codes.

  • Writes of Spring
    On 20 March 2019 we asked people across the UK to capture the arrival of the first official day of spring and help create a crowd-sourced nature diary. More than 400 people did just that from across the four corners of the UK – celebrating this season of colour and the natural world coming to life. The following pages are a selection of the entries curated by the writer Abi Andrews. Introduction n 2018, my spring was spent in a caravan, in a glade in view of Carningli mountain, Itopped by a rocky grey outcrop with purple heathers, confettied below with vivid yellow gorse. The caravan sat within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, in an area that saw an influx of ‘back-to-the-landers’ during the seventies. In it you will find covert, sympathetically built dwellings and cooperative human communities in repurposed farmhouses, lying between woods of bent, blackened oaks, their flamboyant colonies of lichens, and boulders covered with soft and ecstatic mosses. On the moors are strange, stunted Welsh horses, their silhouettes hunched like the simplified animals of Neolithic rock art. Clear spring water gurgles up and silvers everything, running brown through the taps after a heavy rain. At night, owls call to each other. In spring 2019, I was the most attentive to the living world that I have ever been, for the transition of a season. I grew up in suburbia, and moved soon after to a city. Living closer to the land has offered me an anchoring, in noticing the seasons more: the fatigue that comes with winter darkness, the processing of firewood for next year, the harvesting of food — being reminded all the time of the future by preparing for it.

ORTIZ1 1 Department of Botany, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela , Spain 2 CFE, Centre for Functional Ecology, Department of Life Sciences, University of Coimbra, 3000-456 Coimbra, Portugal *[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] *: Corresponding author (Recibido: 08/06/2015; Aceptado: 01/02/2016; Publicado on-line: 04/02/2016) Abstract Omphalodes (Boraginaceae, Cynoglosseae) molecular phylogenetic relationships are surveyed in the context of the tribe Cynoglosseae, being confirmed that genusOmphalodes is paraphyletic. Our work is focused both in the internal relationships among representatives of Omphalodes main subgroups (and including Omphalodes verna, the type species), and their relationships with other Cynoglosseae genera that have been related to the Omphalodes group. Our phylogenetic analysis of ITS and trnL-trnF molecular markers establish close relationships of the American Omphalodes with the genus Mimophytum, and also with Cynoglossum paniculatum and Myosotidium hortensia. The southwestern European annual Omphalodes species form a discrete group deserving taxonomic recognition. We describe two new genera to reduce the paraphyly in the genus Omphalodes, accommodating the European annual species in Iberodes and Cynoglossum paniculatum in Mapuchea. The pollen of the former taxon is described in detail for the first time. Keywords: Madrean-Tethyan, phylogeny, pollen, systematics, taxonomy Resumo Neste estudo analisamos as relacións filoxenéticas deOmphalodes (Boraginaceae, Cynoglosseae) no contexto da tribo Cynoglosseae, confirmándose como parafilético o xéneroOmphalodes .

  • Heathers and Heaths
    Heathers and Heaths Heathers and heaths are easy care evergreen plants that can give year-round garden color. With careful planning, you can have varieties in bloom every month of the year. Foliage colors include shades of green, gray, gold, and bronze; some varieties change color or have colored tips in the winter or spring. Flower colors are white and shades of pink, red, and purple. Heathers make excellent companions to rhododendrons and azaleas. They are also excellent in rock gardens or on slopes. Bees love traditional heaths and heathers; however, the new bud-bloomer Scotch heathers, whose flowers are long-lasting because they don’t open completely, do not provide good bee forage, nor do the new foliage-only series. Choose other varieties if that is a consideration. Heathers grow best in neutral to slightly acid soil with good drainage. A sandy soil mixed with compost or leaf mold is ideal. Heathers bloom best in full or partial sun. Plants will grow in a shady location but will not bloom as well and tend to get leggy. They will not do well in areas of hot reflected sunlight. To plant heather, work compost into the planting area, then dig a hole at least twice the width of the rootball. Partially fill with your amended soil and place the plant at the same level it grew in the container. Excess soil over the rootball will kill the plant. For the same reason, do not mulch too deeply or allow mulch to touch the trunks. Normally a spacing of 12-30” apart is good, depending on the variety.

  • Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation in Bridgend County
    Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation in Bridgend County Borough Council SINC number:MG-1-M SINC name: Caerau West Grid reference: SS 846 938 Area (hectares): 62.09 Survey date: 06/09/2011 Surveyor name: Rebecca East Summary description A large dry acid grassland site with purple moor grass pasture in the more low lying areas. Species diversity increases in the wetter areas. The site also includes areas of dense bracken. Qualifying features Dry acid grassland Secondary features Purple moor grass and rush pasture Potential value/ unconfirmed features The site may be suitable for a range of invertebrate and bird species for feeding and possibly ground nesting. Smaller reptile species may be found here and amphibians may use the pools of standing water for breeding. Current condition and management (including problems and opportunities for biodiversity) Sheep, cattle and horses graze the area, fairly tightly in places which may limit the biodiversity value. Himalayan balsam is present in small parts of the site, particularly where past disturbance or tipping has taken place. The site may benefit from bracken control and limiting livestock numbers. Recommendations for future management: • Consider reducing grazing pressure on grassland • Removal of tipped material. • Control of invasive species. • Management of bracken. Additional information: A few areas of similar habitat beyond the SINC boundary could be surveyed in the furture with a view to designation.

  • The Pyrenees
    The Pyrenees A Greentours Holiday for the Alpine Garden Society 10th to 23rd June 2011 Led by Paul Cardy Trip Report and Systematic Lists by Paul Cardy Day 1 Friday 10 th June Arrival and Transfer to Formigueres Having driven from the south western Alps and reached Carcassonne the previous evening, I continued to Toulouse to meet the group at the airport. I was unexpectedly delayed by French customs who stopped me at the toll booth entering the city. There followed a lengthy questioning, as I had to unpack the contents of my suspiciously empty Italian mini-bus and show them my two large boxes of books, suitcase full of clothes, picnic supplies, etc., to convince them my purpose was a botanical tour to the Pyrenees. Now a little late I arrived breathlessly at Toulouse airport and rushed to the gate to meet Margaret, and the New Zealand contingent of Chris, Monica, Archie and Lynsie, hurriedly explaining the delay. Anyway we were soon back on the motorway and heading south towards Foix. White Storks in a field on route was a surprise. We made a picnic stop at a functional aire where there were tables, and a selection of weedy plants. Black Kite soared overhead. Once past Foix and Ax-les- Thermes the scenery became ever more interesting as we wound our way up to a misty Col de Puymorens. There a short stop yielded Pulsatilla vernalis in fruit and Trumpet Gentians. Roadside cliffs had Rock Soapwort, Saxifraga paniculata , and Elder-flowered Orchids became numerous. Now in the Parc Naturel Régional des Pyrénées Catalanes, a fascinating route down into the valley took us through Saillagouse and Mont-Louis before heading up a minor road to the village of Formigueres, our base for the first three nights.
