Hi, I'm 20 and want to learn more about wetlands, more specifically bogs, but I would still be interested in learning about any type of wetland. What books should I get to start?

How do I work with wildlife young?

11 Upvotes

I (17 m) have been absolutely itching to get out and do some work with wildlife. I currently aim to be a Wildlife Ecologist, but obviously options are limited without a degree. I don’t care if I’m paid, but I really feel like helping my environment would be so fulfilling, I just don’t know how. Any ideas on how to work with animals would be greatly appreciated!

International Best Practice for Himalayain Balsalm removal?

3 Upvotes

A community group I work with has been told to stop removing Himalayain Balsalm to prevent the accidental spread of the plant.

If .01% of a stand has gone to seed, is it better to leave it until the following season or pull it and stop the spread.

Any information people have on Balsalm Bashing and best practice would be a great help to our cause and dealing with bureaucracy.
