“Too Late For the Valley” Analog Collage from vintage road maps & magazines.

I made this collage while the first LNG terminal was going in and found it today while I was cleaning my studio.

The fact that Port of Brownsville can “lease” land to a company that then kills every Yucca, every plant, dislocates hundreds of Texas tortoises, hundreds of animals, threatened Texas Horned Lizard habitat is mind boggling, bat shit insanity.

I have been passing the leased Texas LNG site and every day there is another bulldozer, every day there is another machine staring down the Cenizo, threatening the habitat. My heart breaks, crumbles into a million pieces & I cry the rest of the way to Brownsville.

Ecocide. Left and right. Land being given away, destroyed for profit. Destroyed to build walls and cages which keep us away from the life force of Water. Massacred to keep taking from the Earth. Leaving hundreds of animals without homes. Leaving us without our home.

My only solace has been learning to seed collect for genetic diversity this summer. Reforesting what we can of the bird islands. Learning the plants of the Bahia. Figuring out what can be replanted once the destruction has happened.

May all walls crumble. May all buildings be over taken by Earth. May all people who are part of destruction be awakened to what is more real, more alive than money. May corrupt power structures collapse. May Earth be restored. So let it be.

1000 seedlings. 48 volunteers. 8 hours. 1 mission.

Thursday we volunteered with CBBEP and USFWS in their 4th annual bird island rookery restoration project. This marks our 3rd time volunteering, and like the prior years we successfully planted 1000 seedlings in one afternoon along with 46 other amazing people.
The Bahia Grande is a tidal basin in Cameron County just outside of Port Isabel here in the Rio Grande Valley, S. Texas, that was cut off in the 1930's after the Brownsville ship canal was cut through it. After decades of negative health effects from the dry sandy salt blowing into town and the ecological toll it took on the Laguna Madre, in 2005 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service bought the land and began work on restoring the Bahia Grande.
Water returned to the basin. Fish returned to the basin. Birds also returned, but the little islands had been cut off from water for so long they offered no safe harbor for nesting shorebirds or those on migration. Each seedling planted is the future home of the next generation of birds and other coastal wildlife that our children and grandchildren will get to enjoy in the years to come.

srry not srry if I forgot to tag you or if I tagged you accidentally. Social media aint in my skillset!

Restoration over Destruction.

Reforesting West Bird Island with the most amazing community of lovers & fighters & caretakers. We are not alone in this struggle against greed, short term gain, and the mindset of fear & profit over connectedness & love. We must stay alive and open to Earth and her needs! She gives us everything. Without her we are COOKED, no matter how much money we extract from her desecration. WAKE UP. We need to stay tender to the pain. Let the pain move you forward towards the actions of love & protection. There are living beings all around you, they just do not look like you.

All the destruction of our sacred land & Laguna feels so overwhelming day to day, but opportunities like these remind me I can do what I can with what I have. Join Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program & US Fish & Wildlife for the next phase of RE-FORESTING Bird Island in the Bahia Grande. 🌟

Bird Island’s trees died in 1936 when the Brownsville ship channel went in and all water to the Bahia Grande was cut off from the Laguna Madre. Since 2005, drudging has created flow back to the Bahia and hopes of restoring the island began. Bird Island is critical habitat for nesting herons, egrets, spoonbills, and cormorants. This is year three of restoration efforts!

Last year was such a blast, I had so many people reach out & ask about the next opportunity to help, and here it is! If you were one of those people, I hope you can make it out! (Please note you will be out in the sun for 8 hours minimum on an island with no trees except the ones we are planting, so if that does not sound up your alley, know your limits. ☀️👀)

Channel all the rage, put it into something valuable. Move your body. Plant something. Earth is waiting for her children to protect her, to spend time with her.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our botany meetup at the @natbutterflycenter on Sunday—it was so much fun! 🦋

The botany and ecology community in the RGV is growing, with people across all generations and many backgrounds showing interest in our native plants, animals, and landscapes. Several local organizations already exist that strive to get people connected with nature, from the environmental awareness club (@eac_rgv ) through UTRGV that works to highlight environmental issues in our community, and the Native Plant Project (@plantsofdeepsouthtx ) monthly meetings that bring together plant people to learn about and share native plants.

We want our community to grow and have many chances to mingle and see cool plants and habitat, so the tentative plan is to start organizing monthly botany meetups across the RGV on weekends. We’ll meet at accessible, safe locations that are free or low cost to enter and check out the cool nature they have to offer.

We plan on organizing a December meetup in the Harlingen area, and I will keep you all updated on details for the next meetup in another post soon 💖
