Davis Mountains Sashay (Patreon)

Davis Mountains Sashay

In this episode we take a brief jaunt around some canyons of the Davis Mountains, an off-limits "sky island" in West Texas, where there is no public land and no public access to land (the people are disconnected from the land around them). We check out a patch of the Texas native succulent Echeveria strictiflora, a cool hybrid oak Quercus x inconstans, silver-leaf oaks (Quercus hypoleucoides, Sedum wrightii, some ancient grinding metates, and more. Thanks to the landowner for allowing me access here, an area for which I would never have been able to access due to the lack of almost anypublic land in Texas. Your contributions support this content. It sounds cliché but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, bee-stings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the public, accompanied by a small dose of profanity and crude humor. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good. Plants make people feel good. Plants quell homicidal (and suicidal!) thoughts.
