In yet another wild departure from trash, the Pandas - well, specifically, this Panda - co-opted this patch of bare city dirt and dog shit to plant a prelegal native pollinator garden!
Native plants and insects spent millions of years evolving to get along. Like your LTR, they get - and need - each other. If you'd like to help your local ecosystem and fight the spiritual depravity of modern landscaping, please plant one of your own!
Here's what's currently on the menu - as you can see, the monarch caterpillars are going gangbusters, and I just had my first lady emerge from her chrysalis. If you'd like to buy more milkweed for their ridiculous appetites, here's a link to my Venmo! Plants are about $22 for a large, $12 for a small.

I finally got around to setting up the technically unapproved but no one cares Albany Marsh trash can and needle bucket shebang a goodly number of you were irresponsible enough to buy me. I don't know all of your names, but I do like the cuts of your jibs!
Will this setup capture all the litter and needles at this site? No. Will it capture most of it, if we loosely construe the term? Yes. Like its red-headed stepchild up on Grizzly Peak, this can will agglomerate the trash. As I always say, agglomeration is 87% of the battle!
I also ogled the marsh in general. The site we cleaned last time is still pretty spotless, but the rest of the marsh could use another cleanup or two. If you'd like to waste part of your precious weekend dragging trash out of a swamp for free, sign up on our Volunteer page for the email announcements I've begrudgingly resolved to resume.
Thanks everyone!
