Field Gear Friday - Soil sieves.

Knowing your soil composition is important for understanding the restoration potential of an area, and soil seives can be a great tool for teasing that out. Each sieve separates out different elements of a soil's matrix, from large gravel to fine sand (you can even sort out silt from clay with finer equipment).

If only we could sieve out life's complicated matrix like this!

Field Gear Friday - Cruiser vests.

This vest is Geum vintage, from our early days (BTW we're 20 years old this year!)

Now, you'll find us wearing run-of-the-mill blaze orange. But each field vest becomes unique to its owner, arranged just so (...tatum goes here, pens go there, loupe here, flagging there... who has my 3' tape???)

Field Gear Friday - The Seeder

Analogy pop quiz!!! Sprinkles are to a birthday cake as _________ are to a restoration project.

When all the planning, building and sculpting are done, spreading SEEDS on a restoration project feels like adding the final celebratory sprinkles on the top of a cake. And each year after is another celebration as we revisit a site to watch the seeds grow and the site mature.

Field Gear Friday - This one's exciting...
Measuring tapes!!!

You may have a special place in your heart for these golden gauging implements too.

Just looking at this iconic piece of plastic evokes the smell of wet earth, the soft zzzizzz of rolling tape, and the satisfied feeling of finally finding a place for it in your backpack that doesn't result in it poking you in the ribs or whacking you on the back of the head.

Field Gear Friday, GPS second edition!

Wandering around next to streams and in wetlands comes with a certain amount of risk. Deep mud holes, drowsing bears, and multiple flat tires await. A satellite communication device can be critical when you're alone out there without cell service - one that will not only take your position but send it to someone with a message AND allow them to message back.

This lil' guy fits in the palm of your hand!

Field Gear Friday - Soil pit sampling.

We dig soil! Literally. Like... a lot.

When we're out delineating wetlands or determining an area's restoration potential, this long narrow shovel and core auger are key pieces of equipment. They allow us to look down into the soil's layers with a very small disturbance footprint. Each layer gives clues to the area's ecological legacy, and helps us predict what kind of future we can nudge it toward.

It's Field Gear Friday, the GPS Unit edition!

Anyone working in the natural resource field has a special place in their heart for the cheerily cumbersome Trimble GPS unit. They don't exactly show you where you are, but they do help you see exactly where you were!

At Geum, we've gone so far as to give our units names. Zeus and Athena have channeled the geolocation gods with aplomb for years. Middle Child... tries its best, but is temperamental to say the least.
