This 50th #earthday we can all be conserve-atives. From the Earth, we take our food and our water. Oh and we take the wood for our homes and the fuel for our cars. Oh and we take the metals for our wires, the jewels for our rings, and the fibers for our clothes. Oh and we take inspiration and healing. We take everything. Today we give thanks for the Earth and all things that come from it. We renew our commitment to be good stewards of the gifts we are given. #conservemonitormaintain #tbglt #thebarngrouplandtrust #rockythelizard #barnlizard #amfgy6 @tightlineoutdoors (at United States of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_SUnXVnqOC/?igshid=15740zewtf570

People agree that private land conservation is important. We asked 1,247 people if they believed that private land provided important wildlife habitat. 97.4% said “Yes”. 77% of them also thought there was not enough land already protected to safeguard wildlife from future development.   #conservemonitormaintain #thebarngroup #rockythelizard #barnlizard (at Monterey, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-FUsbCA3nL/?igshid=14xy6yvlorh4r

Ever heard of “Vitamin N”? The “N” is for nature. Richard Louv in his book “Vitamin N: The Essential Guide to a Nature-Rich Life” extols the necessity we all have for nature. We have witnessed immersion in nature help military veterans and their families. Vitamin N Prescription—Dosage: Take daily. Refills: Unlimited. Expires: Never. #conservemonitormaintain #barnlizard #thebarngroup (at Brooks, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B91ff0Wgf0r/?igshid=pohp0vyr95l0

"'Availability is more important than capability,' so goes the adage. It is true in work, sports, as well as the outdoors. The newly passed the Great American Outdoors Act guarantees funds for the Land and Water Conservation Fund that has completed a project in EVERY. SINGLE. county in the US, thus making the outdoors more accessible to the public," says Scott Smith, CEO of The Barn Group Land Trust. We applaud the Congress's  action to make the outdoors more available to you, your family, and everyone.   #conservemonitormaintain #barnlizard #thebarngroup https://www.instagram.com/p/B9kTRaUgBJK/?igshid=w4iajoearmdp

Cajun food isn't the same without crawfish! Thanks to donations, The Barn Group Land Trust now owns 2 operating crawfish farms in Lousiana. Referred to as mudbugs, crawfish farming adds an estimated $300 million yearly to Louisiana's economy. Crawfish farms also provide habitat for hundreds of species of birds that migrate from as far north Canada. We are happy to play our part in sustaining local communities, culture, and wildlife. #thebarngroup #barnlizard #conservemonitormaintain (at Kinder, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9hc9GAgJ6H/?igshid=1mn4ztqyxul8p

#greatnews “Politics be damned, let’s get this done," said Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) according to #apnews. National Parks including the Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountain National Park and Shenandoah are the natural heritage of our country. The Senate just passed a bipartisan bill to spend $2B to improve the nation's national parks. The plan also will fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund. President Trump is likely to approve the plan also. https://apnews.com/e32f013418a0cfa6377f85b2017acfe3 #grandcanyon #rockymountainnationalpark #shanadoahnationalpark #conservemonitormaintain #barnlizard https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ZZuJhAied/?igshid=1y2lfo3qpd747

It’s #WorldWildlifeDay! Specific Wildlife that change their world are called "ecosystem engineers." Beavers change desert to lush willow groves. They capture sediments and increase groundwater recharge. We are grateful for the beaver and their contribution to a functional environment! #conservemonitormaintain #thebarngroup #barnlizard (at Mesa, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Ux3-QgCs7/?igshid=1v5lux5txauos

This is a Georgia Red-backed Salamander—Plethodon serratus. It had to be red in Georgia, right? The Barn Group found it under an old woodpile in Brooks, Georgia. Georgia has had lots of rain and the Red-backed Salamander likes moisture. They can be found beneath logs and in leaf litter, especially in winter. Conservation of these salamanders require mature closed-canopy forests like the ones The Barn Group Land Trust conserves. Have you seen a critter lately? Let us know in the comments. #nature #sciencesaturday #science #naturelovers #backyardnature #naturalist #conservemonitormaintain #conservation #wildlifeconservation #thebarngrouplandtrust #thebarngroup #barnlizard (at Peachtree City, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9KD48BAXC1/?igshid=1tk0s74jr420d

The Barn Group Land Trust works to get military veterans in the outdoors not just because it is fun and amazing. We are trying to help them become healthier. According to the best available science, contact with nature offers considerable promise in addressing a range of health challenges, including depression and anxiety. Advantages include low costs, safety, practicality, and not requiring dispensing by highly trained professionals. Few medications can boast these attributes. Let us know in the comments how outdoor experiences have helped you. #mentalhealth #veterans #amfgy6 #ptsd #endsuicide #thebarngroup #thebarngrouplandtrust #conservemonitormaintain #outdoorlife #wwp #tbrf #barnlizard https://www.instagram.com/p/B9H0h33A2Ac/?igshid=1fg0a23jt2vy7

Another property to protect biodiversity in North Georgia, The Barn Group hopes to conserve this year! A rocky headwater stream with a mature hardwood forested buffer runs through it. Headwater streams are critical to biodiversity. The Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (PARC) states the maintenance of forested buffers to reduce light infiltration, sedimentation, and nutrient loading is necessary to maximize compatibility of working lands and biodiversity. When TBG conserves land we use some of these properties to create nature retreats for our veterans, this one will be used! #nature #pond #ariverrunsthroughit #fishing #ilovetohunt #ilovetofish #science #conserve #conservationeasement #conservemonitormaintain #conserveinga #barnlizard #thebarngroup #thebarngrouplandtrust #rockfence #amfgy6 #veteran #stopsuicide #merica #WWP #ilovemyjob @americanmilitaryfamily @wwp @tightlineoutdoors @richardsonhats (at Greensboro, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9E-JNUAsiE/?igshid=1q8ftnfhcl7hs

While out hiking, I saw these pottery shards from the First People of the area. They lived long ago. They used and loved the land. Luckily this spot of their land has not been developed. We don’t know what the future brings but it will likely include more people needing more space. The Barn Group Land Trust works hard to help private citizens protect as many of their lands as possible so that future generations can hike and find joy. #hike #getoutdoors #nationalpark #pottery #conservemonitormaintain #thebarngrouplandtrust #thebarngroup #tbglt #tbg #weloveourjob (at Mesa, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9AHkGsAgwv/?igshid=1s8py2itzxzjz

The Barn at Rock Fence Ice Addiction fishing events have opened our eyes to the needs of veterans. We have been blessed to partner with American Military Families. On Saturday we saw how they responded with deep concern and immediate action to a veteran in need 5 hours from the tournament. They received a call and they went swiftly despite the distance and inconvenience. Watching them in action made us want to help them and veterans even more. Please visit their website and consider a contribution to them. No one deserves it more. They are doing a work of life or death. They are rebuilding women and men who have sacrificed themselves for us. We are humbled to be able to participate with them. #AMFGY6 #veterans #endsucide #suicideawareness #flag #merica #Godblessamerica #barnlizard #thebarngroup #tbrf #conservemonitormaintain #tightlineoutdoors #ilovetofish #icefishing (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-IGn5AE5l/?igshid=1bq8kg56fs0u6
