reduce the risk of wildfires. Fire is one of the best outdoor management tools for invasive plant control. For over 10 years ecologists have been using this technique, which has spread to many other trained people to use as a tool. Woodlands, prairies, and wetlands are perfect natural communities for contained fires. The main seasons that this is preformed in is spring and fall, but burns can occur at any time from mid October through mid April. The spring burn, is usually the longest of…

I don't even know why I am still mining out here but I'm sure there is something out here. Only 25¢?! Wow, barely anything out here just like I predicted. Even though this mining and panning is very taxing on my back, I just hope that I can still make a profit out of this. I hope my luck would have a brief…
