Thank you to every volunteer for participating in the Star Thistle pull at the Mariposa Preserve in the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument last week. Each and every one of you made a huge difference in protecting and conserving this special place. It was also fun getting drenched in the rain with you all!

Thank you to our partners and friends at the Siskiyou Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Oregon and especially K.S. WILD and Allee Gustafson for doing the registration and coordination for this partnership! Shout out to Charles "Charlie" Schelz the BLM Ecologist for the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument for making a Star Thistle pull so fun! This effort was to protect the preserve for Greene's Mariposa Lily.
