Comment on trees
meyotch@slrpnk.net 10 months agoAgreed, but id rather hang out with the botanists and field ecologists anyway. I chose biology as a major precisely because the biologists were chill. The geologists drank too much and the engineers seemed uncreative. People who love and appreciate biology are my people.

If you’re not already watching crime pays but botany doesn’t on youtube you should start. It’s just 30+ minute videos of a profane botanist from Chicago running around nature and pointing out cool plants and complaining about society

Thanks for the recommendation. I looked him up and to my surprise the first video that showed up was of him here in Brazil walking in the middle of absolute nowhere talking nonstop about every single plant he finds on the ground. I am hooked.

His cloud forest videos are incredible. But this short video is one of my favorites: youtu.be/UdodZcrFIPM?si=39SLtRPjhgRyUlur

I only found him recently but he has really accelerated a path I was already on to becoming more conscious about plants and the role they play in our environment. I’m now in the planning phase of converting about 1.5 acres of lawn into native prairie and starting to manage some woods that I own so they’re more beneficial to wildlife.
