A peek at our bison 🦬 babies (calves) this year. The elk have about 3 calves so far, but I haven't been able to get a picture yet. #wildlife #bison #wildlifereserve #kansascity #nature

We can stand to lose some eastern red cedar trees out this way, so it was cool either way hah.

I wish our senators would stop with these copy and paste talking points and actually attempt to change the laws that allow people to dodge taxes. But, they won't.

I think my job is actually taking my recent callery pear removal proposal seriously. Thanks to the Missouri Senate bill 105, which makes callery pear illegal to sell starting January 1st, 2029. #invasivespecies #callerypear

This spring has been BUSY. Things like this is why I haven't posted much. Tree fell on animal enclosure fence. Got real luck that none of the bison got out!

While I am a sports fan, I do not agree with the tomahawk chop, the drum, or mocking chant of the Chiefs.

Yes, Missouri has two state and non-profit managed prairies where there are wild bison.

Another awesome sighting from Paige. We love our backyard. The area brings so many different wildlife being near a river that's apart of a large conservation area. #baldeagle #nationalbird #naturephotography #conservation @frecklefacema.bsky.social

Amazing shot of the moon between silver maple branches from fiancée. We feel so lucky to live in front of a large conservation area. #moon #naturephotography #Samsunggalaxy #phonephotography @frecklefacema.bsky.social

I keep looking at their job openings. Seems really tempting.

Is there anywhere in America where a forester can work and the leadership is competent? Asking for a friend. #Forester #environmentaljobs #jobs #nature

This is my busy season as a #forester, so less posts. Anyway, one of my first tries at a #career was web designer. No idea what I was thinking. You couldn't pay me to sit at a desk nowadays. #careerchoices #naturelover #cantsitstill

My crew is finally able to get around to destroying some #invasivespecies. This week we cleaned up around a nearby #pond, but job's not finished! The 2nd pic shows how much more we have to do! Progress pics coming soon!

Sometimes! I usually try to make sure we have perfect conditions. Less burns, but safer.
