The red outbuilding is a structure just as Pike's Peak is a structure. The one defines us as it perishes beneath its red paint and rusts its rooftop, the other defines the earth as we imagine it moving toward something like permanence: One is a sign that we existed and exist and of our fate; The other is a sign that the earth existed, exists and that its fate is different from our own, The Red Outbuilding and Pikes Peak, Lorraine Road and Colorado Highway 83, North of Colorado Springs, Colorado.

In our latest professional insight, we explore the critical role of coastal engineering practices in real estate and community preservation.

🌳 There’s a growing threat that we’ll lose our ancient woodlands but there’s hope on the horizon if we all play our part. 🙏 That’s why we’re delighted to support Borders Forest Trust with funding from our Research and Innovation Grants to help protect a special woodland in Southern Scotland. This funding will help understand and restore ancient wood pastures, especially slope alder wood pastures. And while work focuses on one site, the findings can hopefully be used for other wood pasture sites, too. We’re looking forward to seeing the results of their important work. Nicola Hunt, Head of Land Management at Borders Forest Trust said: “We are delighted to receive funding towards our work which will enable us to undertake historical and ecological work to better understand our Ancient Wood Pasture site at Ericstane. This special area of woodland has likely survived for hundreds of years and a better understanding about it will enable us to plan how best to conserve it into the future.” 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Discover more about our Research and Innovation Grants. 👉 https://ow.ly/K1zm50RmhzT Image by C.

What can we remove? Our bias is to always add more. More rules, more procedures, more code, more features, more stuff. Interdependencies proliferate, and gradually strangle us. Systems want to grow and grow, but without pruning, they collapse. Slowly, then spectacularly. When a piece of trash drifts across the beach, it is our duty to pick it up so the next person can enjoy a pristine shoreline. When a thousand pieces litter the beach, it is too late. We can only lament the landscape. That’s just how beaches are now. A good system is designed to be periodically cleared of cruft. It has a built-in counterbalance. Without this pressure, our bias drives us to add band-aid after band-aid, until the only choice is to destroy the whole system and start from scratch. Why is it so much easier to add than to remove? Maybe because we attach our identity to what is visible. But there is a difference between the ornamentation that defines our style and the vestigial burdens we carry. Remember those who did the invisible work of removing. Their legacy was not to build a sand castle, but to care for the beautiful beach on which we play.

Together, we're writing a new chapter in the history of restoration. 😎 #GCPRORestoration #PropertyRestoration #WaterDamageRestoration #FireDamageRestoration #MoldRemoval #RestorationExperts #ChicagoRestoration #DisasterRecovery #RestorationServices #EmergencyRestoration #HomeRestoration #CommercialRestoration

🐸 🌾 To plant or not to plant? Today I share part three of our miniseries on mangrove restoration. This episode guides you through the questions you can ask yourself to properly plan your restoration work. By asking the right questions you can achieve an integrated restoration approach that steers away from mistakes that are so commonly made. Following Ecological Restoration principles yields diverse, resilient mangrove forests while preventing unintended negative impacts on other coastal ecosystems.
