#CandelariaNaturePreserve celebrates four years of restoration
"Just because a species is non-native does not make it an invasive one, and some non-native species function to support restoration."
by Emmett Di Mauro and Elijah Ritch
February 7, 2025
"On Jan. 31, the Candelaria Nature Preserve in #Albuquerque hosted a tour of its ongoing #rewilding project. The public tours are given on the last Friday of every month from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and cover the preserve’s efforts to restore the 90 acres of former farmland in the North Valley, according to the Ciudad Soil & Water Conservation District website.
"Partnering with the City of Albuquerque Open Space Division, the Ciudad Soil & Water Conservation District provides an annual report on some goals for the Candelaria Nature Preserve, including plans for soil health. The project is in the fourth year of its 20-year span. The 2023 report can be found on its website.
"The guided tours are led by volunteers from the Friends of the Candelaria Nature Preserve, like Ruth Salvaggio.
"'What we’re showing here is restoration,' Salvaggio said.
"One example of this restoration is the addition of logs, which were brought in to create habitat, Salvaggio said. This invites #wildlife to make use of the land again. She also said the nature preserve planted several varieties of plant life for #butterflies and created an entire field dedicated to #pollination.
"The process of rewilding at the Candelaria Nature Preserve entails “transitioning the Preserve from non-sustainable agriculture to a mosaic of habitats that will support diverse native wildlife: wet and dry areas, hedgerows, grasslands, upland #shrublands, #ConservationBuffers, and #forage for wildlife,' according to the Friends of Candelaria Nature Preserve’s website.
"Just because a species is non-native does not make it an invasive one, and some non-native species function to support restoration. The workers carefully considered the place of certain #InvasiveSpecies, such as #ElmTrees.
"'They provide a canopy for birds,' Salvaggio said. 'They’re serving a purpose.'
"However, part of the project is to prevent new elms from growing, according to Salvaggio.
"#Teff, a type of grass native to Ethiopia and similar to #millet and#quinoa, was implemented in the preserve. Teff roots are shallow and the plant dies upon releasing its seeds, meaning teff is beneficial to the soil, Salvaggio said. In this way, teff acts as a natural mulch and a '#NurseCrop' that will support native plants in the future.
"Many #NativePlants are found in the preserve, too, including #amaranth, #BlueGrama, #sacaton, #mesquite, #saltbrush and #nightshade.
"One of the destinations on the tour was the nursery, where many native plants begin their lives. Later, they are taken and planted in select areas, including the mosaics — plots designed to be flooded — Salvaggio said. Dispersed wildlife such as #Mesquitetrees and #SacatonGrass grows in these areas.
"The work takes place on plots of former farmland separated by historic #acequias. An end goal is to meld the former farm plot zones to allow for the cohesive spread of the wildlife and return the land to its pre-farmed state, Salvaggio said.
"Bringing the land to its #PreFarmed state also includes careful land #terraforming in select areas, Salvaggio said. This is meant to carve out the original, natural #arroyos of the area.
"The guided tours are currently the only way for members of the public to see the Candelaria Nature Preserve. However, anyone can volunteer at the preserve from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. every Monday and Friday."

The world seems on track to produce more #rice, #wheat & #soybeans than ever before, but production of #sorghum & #millet (key staples in Sub-Saharan #Africa) has barely grown. #Yields of most these crops are equal or slightly higher than previously: https://www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/food-production-2024
A good dinner with tofu and millet as the beans and grain, kale as the greens, kale and horseradish as cruciferous vegetables.

I'll respond in instalments to you.
#Millet to my surprise, is a relatively active tag here, just followed it, and something to follow-up. I get on well with it, culinarily, digestively and metabolically. It's also available in bio = organic in supermarkets here. I will normally germinate it before cooking, so growing some on would not be a big leap, apart from preparing a bed. Need to look into what it likes. Only issue I have with it here is, it's ridiculously overpriced as a foodstuff - like about €4 for a plastic 500g packet, meaning I tend to buy better value things. But as crop seed, price would not be an issue. A similar plant I have been part of an experimental project to grow, back in the '80s - '90s in SW UK was #amaranth. I'm tagging that as encouragement to others to do so, not because it's active, /yet/. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth_grain
#buckwheat is another.

A classic Soviet dish: millet kasha with pumpkin. I used to hate it as a child but decided to give it another try. Surprisingly, it’s really tasty, and I liked it this time.

En France, 83 % des surfaces cultivées sont occupées par cinq cultures seulement : #blé, #orge, #maïs, #colza et #tournesol. Cette prédominance d’une poignée de végétaux ne permet pas de réduire efficacement notre dépendance aux pesticides et aux engrais minéraux.

The cute budgies really want to eat the #delicious #millet. It is their favorite #food. I got the budgies on my hand with the millet. And they are eating the millet with pleasure.

Description attempted in the #alttext
Let's eat #vegan now in #january ! Go in for #veganuary like many other people do! (Don't worry that we're already a few days in)
Today I made this vegan #millet #porridge with oat milk (2.8% fat, making it a bit more creamy), millet, coconut flakes and saffron (I haven't had enough for #christmas ! 
) for breakfast.
It was very yummy 
@nomnomdan Interesting how the taste changes when the gestalt changes — like a color, in that regard.
Another naive #millet experiment: kodo millet #congee (20g millet, 270g water, 30 minutes). It absorbs SO much water! Hard to believe it will absorb 12--15 times its own weight - you'll think the measurements are wrong, but no!
Tasting notes: plain #kodo really tastes to me like pudding rice. Against tamarind, it highlights its sweetness. Against kimchi it's just bland/tasteless. Against sweet chilli sauce, it's nutty! #kitchendiary #iym2023
Dear Friends of death of/and taxes,
Using a siblings #years of bureaucratic #training, was able to post a modified (#improved) email to our local councils issued court ‘summons’. Very basically they cancelled a direct debit by mistake and sent us erroneously inflated bill, demanding payment. 
No. Correct your mistake. Apologise. The payment is still available, never been cancelled … 
Meanwhile … on my #morning walk on Tooting Common. Busy? Yes! Runners, speed walkers, dog walkers, cyclists, mothers with miniature humans. In London vernacular, ‘It was like Piccadilly Circus’.
I am having today off, did a Zoom call, had a pot of tea. Observed a neighbours #cat we have nicknamed ‘Lady’. Soon #dinner time. Is Fish. I really am a rubbish vegan.
We have loads of #dill #growing under our indoor #LED #sunlight shelf. So good with fish … and we have #parsley and #organic #lemons.
Today I found out about the #nutritious ‘#Finger #millet’. For making black #roti. Oh yeah, sure I can get a bag …

@nomnomdan @LifeTimeCooking I cook it as a cereal and eat it with a meal (like rice): 1 part millet to 2 parts boiling water, simmer covered until water's absorbed, around 10-13 minutes as I recall, but check it as you go.
Sometimes I combine the cooked millet with cooked beans to make tempeh — https://leisureguy.ca/2021/06/30/millet-tempeh/ is an example.
I use *unpolished* kodo millet (bran still in place).
