Happy #FireFriday! Notice the size of those logs? That's 10,000hr fuel, which meant we had to plan carefully to burn this large debris pile. With Rx fire, it is important to consider factors like wind direction, fuel moisture, and fuel size to have such a successful burn.

From dream to reality! In the past weeks, we have been busy working to expand our Urban Ag Center with raised beds, trellises, and vine posts. A week ago, this whiteboard drawing was just the vision; check out the #transformation!
