This is just a feel good story as a break from Biden. A women's prison in Idaho is growing sagebrush to be transplanted into burned areas. TWIN FALLS — Inside of a hoop house, tiny sagebrush plants sit inside of black plastic cones.
Lisa Wheeler calls them her babies. Every day during the fall, she spent time meticulously caring for each plant, making sure all 18,000 seedlings had the best chance of survival.
Documenting, watering, thinning, fertilizing, and watching for disease became her routine.
“To be in a very quiet setting, it’s almost like a meditation,” Wheeler said. “To be in a serene place, it brought calmness to me and peace to my soul and heart.”
Peace is something that can be hard to find inside of a prison.
Wheeler is serving time at the South Boise Women’s Correctional Center near Kuna for possession of a controlled substance.
It was there she was introduced to the Sagebrush in Prisons Project started by the Institute for Applied Ecology.
“It really is a win-win-win program,” said Stacy Moore, ecological education program coordinator with the Institute for Applied Ecology. “It provides skills for the inmates, it’s a really nice contact with the community and it’s helping to restore our native habitats.” I do have to wonder why she's wearing a mask. Does sagebrush catch covid?

Looks like it's time to run the q u e e r s and horse thieves out of Tennessee again. The last time we did that, the horse thieves stopped in Texas. Those other guys didn't quit running until they hit the Pacific ocean!
Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!

Reason most are in prison is they did not wear a mask and could be identified....
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Good for the raising of the sage brush. Lots is needed to help stop erosion, and get the habitat moving toward the natural plant growth. Who cares if she wears a mask, she's doing something positive. More than many who aren't incarcerated!
