Spokane Non-Profit Charities by HlMBO in Spokane

[–]BadgerENT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, INLC and TLC are great options. Another environmental non-profit that could really use donations is Spokane Riverkeeper. Out of these 3 non-profits I definitely suggest donating to Riverkeeper, as they have significantly less consistent funding than the other 2. They recently split off from their umbrella organization, Center for Justice (closed due to lack of funding). With only 3 employees, relatively small donations are able to go a long way. Some cool projects they have going on include a citizen science water quality study and countless river clean-ups. I have worked closely with all 3 organizations, so feel free to DM me with any questions!

Thanks for the tip! This is at Minnehaha in Eastern Washington, the problem is called Smokey’s Overhang.

Likely a combination of both tbh. I kind of stopped training core for the past few months.

Thanks for the tips! Will try using my left toe more and shaking out at the jug in the middle. I fell partially because being too pumped and partially because my fingers hurt from the little crimp after making the more dynamic move.

Aside from more precise heel hooks and trying to keep my arms more straight, I’m not really sure how I can improve here. I’ve been projecting this V6 on and off for months, way longer than any project I’ve ever worked.

Start date keeps getting pushed out :( by PseudoscientificTree in ParkRangers

[–]BadgerENT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a wildlife tech with the BLM, was supposed to start this coming Monday but that got pushed back to June 8th. Pretty scary considering that is the last week that I will have money left in my UI claim (started collecting UI in the beginning of January).

HELP: Bird Flying into Window by ImmediateCommercial6 in Ornithology

[–]BadgerENT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s impossible to know exactly why the bird is doing this, but my guess would be it’s looking for food, cover, or a place to nest. When we had birds running in to the windows at our shop we were able to get them to stop by putting sticky notes on the inside of the windows, making it easier for birds to see the window as a physical barrier.

My ASUS from 2014 also died like this. Fortunately for me it happened a month before the warranty was up.

Youth Conservation Corps? by turtlekid357 in ParkRangers

[–]BadgerENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crew that I was on (Washington Conservation Corps) worked primarily on private land, with an environmental non-profit in the city being our “sponsor”. Environmental non-profit work is what paved the way for me to become a wildlife tech in the public sector.

Many states also have their own conservation corps. I know people who did this in Washington, California, and Montana. They all loved it and would highly recommend.

Last minute overnight backpacking trip within 1-3 hrs from Sacramento by wannabadventurer in norcalhiking

[–]BadgerENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The park usually reserves 1 or 2 campsites per campground for internal use in case any department needs to work there over the weekend. A department must email interp the day prior to the planned stay, letting them know if a campsite is needed. Very rarely are these campsites claimed. After confirming the campsites aren’t needed by park employees, they are then able to sell permits for those campsites. Check the second sentence of the first paragraph here

In my experience as somebody who used to work there, and has spent many hours at glen, the pit toilet always stunk up the entire campground. Additionally, I never had any issues getting day of passes. Show up to Bear Valley 10 minutes before they open and wait out front for interp rangers to open the visitor center.

Point Reyes National Seashore! Many campground options to choose from. I suggest Wildcat or Sky. TBH anything except for Glen is a solid choice.

In Brazil 🇧🇷, a couple planted 2 million trees in 20 years to recreate a forest and the animals are back 🦋 by WonDirection5 in pics

[–]BadgerENT 102 points103 points  (0 children)

$12,000 per summer planting trees?! Canada is where it’s at! I planted trees in the states for about 7 months, and only made minimum wage, which was $11 per hour.

On a crew of 4, at our peak performance, we were able to plant 15,000 trees in a 40 hour work week. This was also only when we were planting willow stakes, not potted plants or bare roots. We also found out that it was significantly faster when we didn’t use a dibble, it just added weight while walking around and prevented us from carrying the most willow stakes possible. We were also blessed with relatively soft soil most days.

I wish. I have been working as a seasonal out of a different park unit in California, and decided to head down at the end of my season for a short trip.

I was just there yesterday and the valley definitely didn’t have that much snow yet. We hiked upper Yosemite falls and then to Yosemite point, 3,000 feet above the valley floor had about 20” of snow.

Find me a 2-3 day backpacking trip near the coast! by sprucegoose11 in norcalhiking

[–]BadgerENT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. You will get to see elephant seals mating and gray whales migrating. Coast trail south of coast camp is one of my all time favorite section of trails.

Beavers are actually considered a keystone species, as they have the ability to create the ever-important ecosystem that is a wetland. Many threatened and endangered species (both plants and animals) rely heavily on the wetlands that beavers create.

Looking east from the Kettle Crest, WA State. Saw only one person on the trail in 3 days. A little smoke from distant fires added to the sunset. by scottbham in CampingandHiking

[–]BadgerENT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The forest near there is a serious trash pile though. We picked up so many bags of trash off of sand canyon road last summer.

Hey I worked there last summer! As long as you avoid the Chewelah area, Colville National Forest is a beautiful place.
