Taken from a burned out fire tower. I’ll post a series of photos from my field work studying invasive plants in the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon wildfire which encompassed 400,000 acres in northern New Mexico.

Been working for an environmental consulting group

Been working for an environmental consulting group called Rocky Mountain Ecology this summer. Me, and about five others spend a week at a time in the wilderness. We are surveying dozer and hand lines created by firefighters during the hermits peak fire in northern New Mexico. We’re collecting data on invasive species of plants that have a propensity to grow in the soil cultivated by dozer tracks and pick lines.
