Glenn Prickett, a conservation expert with the Nature Conservancy and a senior fellow at the U.N. Foundation, spent the week of Earth Day 2015 on the campus of the University of Saint Mary.
Prickett’s appearance was sponsored by the Lawrence D. Starr Global Studies Institute at the University of Saint Mary. As a Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellow, Prickett spent the week at USM providing varied learning experiences for Saint Mary students.
Pitch pine (Pinus rigida) and backdrop of other barrens vegetation south of Grass Lake, Monroe County.
The Nature Conservancy, the Bethlehem Authority, and the Pennsylvania Game Commission have preserved much of this landscape. Ecosystem restoration (including the use of prescribed burns) is ongoing.
If you look close enough, you can clearly see the faces in the rocks...
Blowing Rocks is a Nature Conservancy Preserve on Jupiter Island, Florida.
The Nature Conservancy hosts a group of roughly 30 visitors for a vernal pool hike at Forest Pools Preserve, adjacent to Kings Gap State Park in Cumberland County, Pa., on March 25, 2016. Because vernal pools, or seasonal wetlands, dry up every year, they don't harbor fish and thus are critical habitat for many amphibian species. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

Tunkhannock Township, Monroe County.

Grove of larches south of Grass Lake, Monroe County.
These trees are probably European larches (Larix decidua) and may have been planted decades ago by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Native larches, or tamaracks (Larix laricina), are abundant in boreal conifer bogs and other wetlands across the Pocono Plateau.

Not the greatest photo, but an incredible story.
I didn't realize how special this hawk was until I got home tonight, opened this month's Arizona Highways and read Sam Negri's & Tom Vezos' story.
This hawk swooped right over me maybe 5 feet above my head, completely surprising me. His wings seemed almost as wide as my outstretched arms. He glided across the creek and settled in this burnt tree and told me in no uncertain terms that he wasn't happy I was here. You can see the hill on the other side. I am standing on a similar hill trying to hand hold a 300mm lens. My first thought was maybe a Golden Eagle, but then I saw the beak and the white band on the tail.
I got home and looked him up and found that it's a Common Black-hawk (Buteogallus anthracinus). With "common" in the name, I did not realize how "uncommon" this hawk really is until I read the article. There are maybe 250 nesting pair in the US.
Four pair are in Aravaipa Canyon protected by the Nature Conservancy.
If you look close enough you can also see two Hooded Orioles that were quite upset with this interloper.

What is it?
I'm not sure what this old piece of equipment is, couldn't get close enough for a good look because it's behind a fenced portion of the Ormond Beach Wetlands that's owned by the Nature Conservancy. It's near the end of a line of bare of utility poles leading to the east from the old Reliant Energy plant, and it obviously hasn't been in use for a long time. For reference, the post is about the diameter of a normal utility pole. There are two warning tags visible on the box -- the black one says "CAUTION: HOT TEMPERATURE IS NORMAL" and the red one reads "CAUTION TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY USE HANDLE, NOT PANEL EDGES WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING TILT OUT PANEL." Obviously can't see what units are measured or indicated by the detached and dangling dial.
Anyone out there have an idea what it is (or might have been)?

Marine turtle specialists Karen Bjorndal and Alan Bolten from the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research, University of Florida, survey green and loggerhead sea turtles near Williams and Billy Islands at the north end of West Andros. They report initial densities of young green turtles to be the highest they've seen in 30 years working in the Atlantic. The area is also special for young loggerheads. The efforts were hosted by Charles Beckwith, owner of Flamingo Key and his wife Cindy.
The remote west side of Andros Island in the Bahamas is the proposed site of a new national park and marine protected area. From June 18-30, 2006, The Nature Conservancy, organized a team of 20 researchers to participate in an ecological assessment of West Andros in to define priorities for planning the protected areas. The multi-national team of biologists focused on sea turtles, flamingos, bonefish, geology, benthic ecology, fish ecology, plant commuities, reptlies and amphibians.

Oregon Plan Award: The Nature Conservancy for the Willamette Confluence Project. The mined area was filled in 1992, when this photo was taken.
The Gordon Butler Nature Preserve is located in the Sandhills community of Hope Mills just south of Fayetteville, NC, in Cumberland County. This 12.5-acre preserve contains an impressive assemblage of pine flatwoods plants including an amazing collection of mountain laurel flower color variants and the rare white wicky (Kalmia cuneata). This preserve is also the site of a longleaf pine restoration project funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program.
