Thank you much, Bob! We would love to meet our target soon so we can focus
fully on the tasks at hand. We're at Pine Ridge currently- checking out some
great gabion systems put in by one of our students, creating shelter, and
getting ready to plant 500 trees... Got a great crew up here working away,
some good skill sets and positive energy. And got some great ideas on this
list for drylands planting - we're going to try a number of them and
combinations and document results. We're grateful for any small flow toward
this project.

I've been out and about and just popped back in, not sure if this has
already been posted here, but there is a kickstarter in support of
Koreen's project on the Pine Ridge Res.

I know many people who have used cardboard as a mulch layer in Florida and no
reports of poisonous snakes. Just talked to a herpetologist (sitting right
next to me) who said that you will not find poisonous snakes digging under
cardboard where mulch is on top. You might get snakes if you leave cardboard
lying around with nothing on top of it, or carpet or rolled asphalt even.
Anything they can crawl under and hide under (especially baby snakes). But if
you put something on top of it, it stops being rattlesnake, copperhead, etc,
habitat.

At our community garden, faced with the same kind of heavy weed issue 
and questionable soil, went with cardboard mulch right over the weeds, 
then a compost/loam mix and mulch over that. It has been quite 
productive, with yearly top dressing of compost. The quack grass has 
found it's way back in places but it seems like most folks are keeping 
it in check. No poisonous snakes reported.

BBC News - Arctic Ocean 'acidifying rapidly'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22408341

The Arctic seas are being made rapidly more acidic by carbon-dioxide
emissions, according to a new report.

Scientists from Norway's Center for International Climate and Environmental
Research monitored widespread changes in ocean chemistry in the region.

They say even if CO2 emissions stopped now, it would take tens of thousands
of years for Arctic Ocean chemistry to revert to pre-industrial levels.

Many creatures, including commercially valuable fish, could be affected.

They forecast major changes in the marine ecosystem, but say there is huge
uncertainty over what those changes will be.

It is well known that CO2 warms the planet, but less well-known that it
also makes the alkaline seas more acidic when it is absorbed from the air.


Absorption is particularly fast in cold water so the Arctic is especially
susceptible, and the recent decreases in summer sea ice have exposed more
sea surface to atmospheric CO2.

The Arctic's vulnerability is exacerbated by increasing flows of freshwater
from rivers and melting land ice, as freshwater is less effective at
chemically neutralising the acidifying effects of CO2.

The researchers say the Nordic Seas are acidifying over a wide range of
depths - most quickly in surface waters and more slowly in deep waters.
