Reintroducing myself to 500+ followers:
My name is Waylon Gaye & I am currently the first forester ever for Jackson County in Missouri. A serious challenge in 2024.
I’ve planted 1000+ trees in urban communities w/ UHI effect & I’ve work w/ many orgs/neigborhoods to fight for environmental justice.

A peek at our bison 🦬 babies (calves) this year.
The elk have about 3 calves so far, but I haven't been able to get a picture yet.

I wish our senators would stop with these copy and paste talking points and actually attempt to change the laws that allow people to dodge taxes.
But, they won't.

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

I think my job is actually taking my recent callery pear removal proposal seriously.
Thanks to the Missouri Senate bill 105, which makes callery pear illegal to sell starting January 1st, 2029.

This spring has been BUSY.

Tree fell on animal enclosure fence. Got real luck that none of the bison got out!

While I am a sports fan, I do not agree with the tomahawk chop, the drum, or mocking chant of the Chiefs.

Another awesome sighting from Paige. We love our backyard. The area brings so many different wildlife being near a river that's apart of a large conservation area.

Is there anywhere in America where a forester can work and the leadership is competent?
