  1. Learning the grassland plants is what made the apocalypse feel real to me. Going from seeing grasslands as smooth expanses of green to seeing the differences in every kind of grass and wildflower and insect was like suddenly learning how to see color for the first time, and then realizing the colorblind masses have painted almost everything gray in the name of progress and aren’t interested in stopping. I can’t help but imagine what every bit of land in the Bay Area would have looked like covered in blooms of different colors, the land painted with millions of wildflowers where now only dozens cling to existence among the sea of silent weeds. I can feel the difference in abundance of insects in grasslands with a high proportion of native species. But I can also feel that the difference in variety and abundance of Life is completely invisible to almost everyone, including people who appreciate and admire the Bay Area’s landscapes without realizing the grassy hillsides that look so verdant in Springtime are covered in invaders silently and slowly smothering ancient species and relationships out of existence, until nobody even thinks anything is missing. The built environment is the only place where we actually invest enough resources into vegetation maintenance that invasive plants are kept under control. But instead of returning the native life to the land, we insist on growing non-native species that satisfy our aesthetic preferences without actually doing much to sustain other Life. Most of the species whose habitats we’ve wiped out to build our own environment are still here, and still in the decades-long process of declining from habitat destruction decades ago. While they still exist, we have time to restore the life-sustaining relationships they depend on and help their populations recover. But once they’re gone, as so many of Oakland’s unique plants, animals, and fungi already are, they’re gone forever. #bayarea #biodiversity #ecology #nativeplants #oakland

  3. *EDIT: please don’t boycott Sparky’s. Their landlord’s actions aren’t their fault. The landowner is David Seyranian of American Realty and Investments. California’s environmental regulations often impose huge costs on developers while failing to meaningfully protect species and habitats from permanent destruction, but the City of Oakland can (and sometimes does, with enough public pressure) establish meaningful protections for habitats and their creatures. Right now, State and Federal protections for habitats only apply if a property is being sold or developed, so property owners have a financial incentive to eradicate all rare and sensitive species on their property before selling or developing, which the owner of this lot has been intentionally doing. I’ve seen multiple species on this site dwindle and vanish in the past few years, but this year, the property owner deliberately cleared all the vegetation during the peak of blooming season, and recently sprayed enormous amounts of herbicides to eradicate remaining vegetation once he realized I was paying attention to the rare species there. Spraying herbicides in a publicly accessible area without putting up warning signs is illegal, but this property owner is a wealthy real estate investor who is probably used to getting away with things like this. You can contact your City Council member’s office and the Oakland Watershed Acquisition Program to ask that they prioritize the preservation and restoration of this sacred piece of Oakland’s ecological and indigenous heritage by acquiring the land for preservation, return to indigenous stewardship, and public benefit. If there’s enough public pressure, Oakland’s City government can protect this amazing place for generations to come. If not, this remaining vestige of indigenous ecosystem and the incredible richness of insect life it sustains will end up like Oakland’s giant redwoods and vast flocks of migratory shorebirds: gone forever in the blink of an eye, and remembered by those who will never forgive us for the world we took away from them.
