Homestead National Monument of America:
Imagine you were going to build a fence. You collect your lumber, check the garage for tools, and head to the hardware store to purchase whatever else you may need. But wait. What if instead, you planted a fence? Living fences, such as the Osage Orange hedgerow planted by Daniel Freeman, offer a more sustainable and longer-lasting boundary for your Homestead. When woven together these fast-growing trees produced a "pig tight, horse high, and bull strong," fence. One bushel of seed would yield 30,000 plants, enough for 6 miles of fence! This was a popular solution to the fencing problem on the treeless prairie. The original Osage orange hedgerow planted on Daniel's homestead has survived a century!

Wildlife does not exist in a vacuum and neither can conservation. That is one of the reasons states create Wildlife Action Plans. These plans lay out the needed conservation to protect wildlife in each state. The largest one weighs 14 pounds (that's a lot of conservation!) Learn more athttp://bit.ly/2nzI6W7

An impressive mix of pine savannas and wetlands, Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge straddles the border of Alabama and Mississippi and preserves a uniquely southern environment. With only 5 percent of wet pine savanna remaining across its originally range, the refuge is home to many unusual plants, including 9 species of carnivorous plants. Discover these and other marvels as you explore this remarkable place. Photo by Tom Carlisle via U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
