Whimsday Bliss – Fun With T-Shirts
Tim, The Forester Artist, Ivy Smith, and I were at the Shasta Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Run for the Wild fund-raiser over the weekend.
We had a lot of fun talking with kids and signing books. Of course we all posed for a picture. Unbeknownst to us, our T-shirts spelled out a message all their own!
Shasta Wildlife Rescue’s Run for the Wild was a great success, so life looks, good, good, good! What, not what you thought?
Mary A Livingston, Tim Livingston and Ivy Smith all donate time to raise funds for Shasta Wildlife Rescue.
Where Have All the Flowers Gone
Here’s a fun springtime post from Tim…I just had to share!
Munched by young deer everyone! When will we ever learn.

It’s…Fasten Your Seat Belt Friday!
I’m guest blogger today at RhyPiBoMo! Come on over and check it out…
It’s Fasten Your Seat Belt Friday!

What does that mean? Well, we are 6 days in and it’s not going to get any easier! Poetry is not for the weak of heart!

I’m sure, at this point, some of you are reconsidering your choice to be here and that’s okay. These lessons are time consuming and involved if you are doing absolutely everything offered here. I don’t expect that you are, nor should you expect that of yourself. You should make it what works for you.

I felt your same frustration weeks ago when I began writing these lessons. I promise they are as tight as I could get them and still give a full explanation of the concepts. We won’t even talk about all the exceptions to the rules! Think of RhyPiBoMo as a buffet…take what you like, try a few things you’ve never tasted…

2014 Sierra Cascade Logging Conference Education Day
Kids make science experiments fun! Do you know what an Electrostatic Precipitator is and what it does?
What a great time! Awesome kids really make for a great presentation. Last week I presented to over 350 third to sixth grade students on what an Electrostatic Precipitator is and what it does. After two hours of talking to seven different groups, 15 minutes at a time, my voice was shot but my spirits high. This year’s students really engaged and participated making it memorable for all.
Many brave girls stepped up to assist collecting a static charge.
Student volunteers help demonstrate static electricity.
Dark balloons show the dust best.
Students are surprised by the attractive properties of static electricity.
Forestry Friday … Sierra Cascade Logging Conference
My solution to the static hair part of my presentation…volunteers. They were all good sports and knew ahead of time what would happen. The students this year were the best ever. I was so pleased with their interaction.
It’s time, once again for the Sierra Cascade Logging Conference here in Anderson, California. It is an opportunity loggers, foresters, equipment sales folks, school kids, teachers and the public to all come together. It’s like going to the county fair where you can bump into friends that you haven’t seen since last year.
Today was the first day of the conference and also Education Day. Over 700 4th and 5th graders tour the exhibits and learn about forestry and the timber industry. Each year Mary teaches a science lesson related to one of our picture books and the kids love it.
Forestry Friday … Drought!
This is why I was so thrilled for a bit of rain on Wednesday. Hoping for a lot more…
In California we’re in another severe drought. I took these two pictures of Lassen Peak in January, one this year and the other last year. You can see the stark difference. Lassen Peak is the southerly most of the major cascade volcanoes and is 10,463 feet (3,189 M) tall. Last year we had over 20 inches of rain at this time, and this year we have less than 4 inches. The snow pack is almost nonexistent. Cattle ranchers are having a hard time. There’s no new grass and the foothills are as brown as July. The price of hay is going to go through the roof forcing many of the ranchers to sell off their cattle. Our ski resorts are having a terrible winter due to the lack of snow. It’ll be a tough year for these folks and the long term forecast is grim. Expect the California water war…

Forestry Friday … The Real Buddy
Buddy’s back!
Buddy and the Magic Chicken Treeis the second installment about Buddy the wolverine. Here is a sample from the upcoming story. It is written by author illustrator MaryA Livingston and wildlife biologist Amanda Shufelberger. It is illustrated by me, Tim Livingston.
Buddy, the Wayward Wolverine,published by Red Tail Publishing in 2013, is a fantastical story of a real wolverine.
Buddy is the subject of Forestry Friday, because he was original discovered during forestry research projects. One carnivore study run by wildlife biologist Amanda Shufelberger inventories carnivores on private forestland. The data is used to ensure that proper forest management techniques are implemented to protect and enhance carnivore habitat.
Buddy presence was first discovered in 2008. His DNA places his roots in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. We can only imagine how Buddy got to California – Buddy, the Wayward Wolverine. These are some of the videos…
