Miner's Lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata) is cropping up along trails, near creeks, and in other shady, dewy areas until May. The high Vitamin C content of this edible green nourished the Chumash people and helped miners stave off scurvy during the California gold rush.

We set a bold year-end goal of $400,000 to fund land conservation and thanks to the 482 people who gave to our campaign WE DID IT! YOUR generosity is funding fresh air, clean water, and the future for wild and working land in #SantaBarbaraCounty. https://www.sblandtrust.org/year-end-campaign-success-than/

From farm stands to places like #FranklinTrail, land conservation was behind much of the local food and open spaces that nourished our communities in a tough year. If you can, chip in $30-50 today to close the $35,000 gap on our ambitious fundraising goal every dollar counts and we've got 3 days left! http://ow.ly/rBOq50CWxqf... : Thanks to @panda.kay.711 for this Franklin Trail stunner!
