Book of the month is After the Spike - Population, Progress, and the Case for People<\/em> by Dean Spears and Michael Geruso.<\/p>

From Amazon - \u201cSpears and Geruso investigate what depopulation would mean for the climate, for living standards, for equity, for progress, for freedom, for humanity\u2019s general welfare. And what it would mean if, instead, people came together to share the work of caregiving and of building societies where parenting fits better with everything else that people aspire to. With new evidence and sharp insights, Spears and Geruso make a lively and compelling case for stabilizing the population\u2014without sacrificing our dreams of a greener future or reverting to past gender inequities.\u201d<\/p>

Join the Fort Worth Chapter of NPAT for a morning at Stella Rowan Prairie.<\/p>

Stella Rowan is a 125-acre remnant prairie located next to the Resource Connection campus in Tarrant County. For nearly a decade the prairie has been recovering from mowing, showing remarkable resilience and species diversity similar to Tandy Hills Prairie. It even offers a skyline view of Fort Worth.<\/p>

Recent utility construction disturbed parts of the prairie, scraping topsoil and leaving areas vulnerable to invasive species. Fortunately, natural restoration is already underway, and with community support, this land can continue to recover.<\/p>

We will gather for a short discussion of the project before heading out to the prairie. Activities may include a site introduction, seed collection and planting.<\/p>

This tour is offered by donations. Suggested donation amount is $5. Donations benefit Native Prairies Association of Texas.<\/p>

The Trinity River: The Watery Tie that Binds North Texas for World Rivers Day by Wild DFW<\/em> Author Amy Martin. Followed by a discussion with Rich Grayson & Fouad Jaber.<\/p>

There is only one river in North Texas: the Trinity. Once rejected and forgotten, paid attention to only when it floods, the Trinity is transforming from a place of refuse to refuge.<\/div> <\/div>
We\u2019ll take a tour of the Trinity\u2019s four forks\u2014Clear, East, Elm, and West\u2014exploring each one\u2019s unique characteristics, plus the nature preserves and attractions they are home to. This riverine network is home to the Trinity River Paddling Trail<\/a>, a National Park Service recreation trail with over 120 miles of floating fun.<\/div>
<\/div>
The talk concludes with a brief overview of our river follies, including the time when the West Fork was known as the River of Death, the misguided attempts to turn it into a barge canal that was thwarted by Ned Fritz<\/a>, and the absurd idea to place a freeway in its floodplain, which took over a decade to be abandoned. Yet there are more Trinity indignities in the works.

Desiccation tolerance is a multifaceted trait, from which we may be able to glean new biotechnological strategies for the dry storage of biological materials and for engineering stress tolerance into other organisms. Desiccation tolerant organisms can survive losing as much as 97% of their water content by entering a state of suspended animation. Once water is available again, they readily rehydrate and resume metabolism.<\/p>
