Regenerate 2025 was a blast!
We soaked up so much knowledge from the presentations and had a great time connecting with fellow farmers, ranchers, and organizations. 🤝🌾🐑
Huge thanks to for bringing everyone together and fostering a community of learning, sharing, and meaningful conversations about the land—its adaptability, resilience, and future—as well as our own as land stewards.🌱

🌿 A while back, we were out surveying the river to begin the permit process with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

It’s a lengthy process, but an essential one to ensure that any work on rivers complies with the Clean Water Act and is done responsibly and legally.

At High Desert Ecology, we have the experience to navigate these permits and carry out river restoration projects the right way — protecting both the land and the water that sustain our communities. 💧💦

When wildfires tear through a landscape, they don’t just burn trees — they burn away the soil’s ability to soak up rain.
With roots and plants gone, and the ground hardened by heat, even a short downpour can turn into a flash flood.
These “burn scars” can flood within minutes, carrying mud, ash, and debris downstream.

One disaster can trigger another — that’s why preventing catastrophic fires from occurring in the first place is THE cost saving endeavor.
