Please don’t feed the animals!

Everything is a cycle, and everything has a place in this cycle. This isn’t “hippie stuff”, it’s biology. It’s ecology. It’s natural law. We love this place for its wildness, for the pristine nature, the clean air, and water - the ability to “get away from it all.” The only changes we make to this cycle should be focused on restoring the upsets we cause to this balance. The legacy we leave our children, and all our descendants depends on us.

Mount Shasta Monarch and Pollinator Program

Arielle Halpern: Every year, Mount Shasta plays host to migrating monarch butterflies. Not only are monarch butterflies one of a number of important native pollinator species, they are a species that has been given a great deal of attention in recent years because of their extreme decline due to habitat conversion, pesticide use, and climate change.

BYOB: Farmer’s Market

Molly brown: Why doesn’t the Market require compostable bags?  Well, it turns out that when compostable bags get mixed in with plastic bags in recycling, they literally gum up the works.  And it’s very hard to separate compostable bags from plastic bags, because they look pretty much the same.
