Grizzlies Were Raiding Montana Farms. Then Came Some Formidable Dogs.
The grizzly bears feasted on piles of spilled wheat and barley. They broke into grain bins. They helped themselves to apples from family orchards. Sometimes they massacred chickens or picked off calves. Once nearly eradicated from the lower 48 United States, grizzlies are growing in population and spreading onto Montana's plains, where they had not roamed in perhaps a century. In their travels, they've acquired a fondness for the good eating to be found in farmyards. This is a grave problem for both humans and bears. The safety of farmers and their families is at stake, and so is the survival of the bears, which could get themselves killed by threatening people's lives and livelihoods. Enter the bear dogs. This one's name is Patton, and he's a Turkish Boz shepherd. Tell Us About Solutions Where You Live Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Watershed restoration in the Sierra aims to protect California's water supply
California legislative staffers and environmental advocates took flight Tuesday to get a rare aerial view of watershed restoration in the Sierra Nevada, a project they say is critical to protecting the state's water supply. Much of California's drinking water begins in places like the Yuba River Watershed, where decades of fire damage and climate change have left ecosystems fragile. From above, the contrast between green recovery zones and fire-scarred forest land was stark. "Eighty percent of Californians drink Yuba water every day," said Aaron Zettler-Mann, Executive Director of the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL). "What happens in these forests affects every tap downstream." The restoration work includes removing invasive plants, planting native trees, and clearing sediment from streams and meadows. Some trees removed are repurposed into biochar, which helps filter toxins from the water system. Since 2020, SYRCL has funneled $23 million into local restoration efforts, hiring regional contractors and supporting environmental jobs. But for the group, it's about more than the economy. "Healthy forests mean healthier watersheds," Zettler-Mann said. "This is about protecting water quality for people across the state." Legislative staffers say the experience made the issue hit home. "We need to do more in the Sierra Nevadas to protect our forests, air, and water," said Andrew Nickens, legislative director for Assemblymember Heather Hadwick. "This isn't just an environmental issue, it's a public health issue." The tour was organized by EcoFlight, a nonprofit that uses aviation to highlight environmental issues.

In New Jersey, Benefits Bloom in Tiny Forests
It's a tiny space, no bigger than a couple shipping containers really. But standing there, the midsummer heat recedes. So does the roar of nearby airplanes and the fishy stench of the market next door. In this thicket of elderberry plants shaded by honey locust trees, John Evangelista finds his respite. 'This is one of the only places in Elizabeth where you can stand in the middle of a forest,' said Mr. Evangelista. 'I just love being in here.' This 45 foot by 40 foot plot, tucked inside a small urban farm behind a library in the city of Elizabeth, N.J., was the state's first 'microforest.' It's exactly what it sounds like: a miniature forest, packed with more than 260 native plants (and one anomaly, a Kentucky coffee tree). The project was the brainchild of Mr. Evangelista, a farmer and executive director of Groundwork Elizabeth, a nonprofit that planted the forest in 2021 with support from the New Jersey Conservation Foundation. Over the past four years, with gardening help from a paid city youth program, the group has added four more microforests. Two are outside city-owned senior housing developments and one is in a cemetery. Yet another is growing at an elementary school in a nearby town.
