I’ve noticed an uptick in grade school level mistakes in the #EastBay Times lately. This is just the latest example. They might want to update their AI model. I will grant them that “flower” is spelled correctly.🙂

A "trap" (English word for the Spanish word "trampa") near "Las Trampas" Regional Park!

Came across this #trap under construction, in a meadow of thistles, while #hiking in the #EastBay yesterday.

Looks like it will be for mountain lions.

On one of the saddles connecting #RockyRidge (behind camera, not shown) and #HogbackRidge (backround, cf. figures 4 and 5 in PDF)

Assembly Concurrent Resolution 107: The Diablo Range (Bauer-Kahan) is up for consideration next week.

The Resolution would recognize the critical need to conserve the Diablo Range, which is under threat by developers and fossil fuel extraction by the Trump Administration.

Please call your CA State Senator and ask them to support ACR 107.
