We were doing Astragalus geyeri var. triquetrus (rare plant) surveys in incredibly sandy areas, and to make sure plants counted weren’t counted again we circled the sand around them

If your network isn’t discussing cone maxxing, intentionally moving up the mountain, or rapidly growing after wild fires, then you need to find a new circle. Your network is your net worth
