Hangin' with the YCC
This summer we have a Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) crew of local high school students helping us out with some projects. On monday, I supervised the crew while we dodged a rattlesnake and afternoon thunderstorms, and they removed hog wire that was keeping sheep and wildlife out of a stringer meadow. The fence will be replaced with three strands of wire, the top two barbed and the bottom smooth and 18 inches above the ground. This allows wildlife such as sage-grouse and pronghorn antelope to crawl under the fence safely to access water and forage in the meadow...but is enough to keep domestic sheep out.

Even in the midst of all that wire, you get a picture of a lovely flower. Go go botany power!
