Moyo umangochitika. "Sichinali cholinga changa chachikulu kukhala woyimira mapiri a Santa Monica, koma chinthu china chidayambitsa china," atero a Jo Kitz, wotsogolera wa Mountains Restoration Trust (MRT). Kuyenda kwake kwaubwana pafupi ndi Mt. Hood kumamupangitsa kukhala womasuka m'mapiri. Atakula, anakumana ndi ana amene amaopa nsikidzi ndi zinthu zakutchire ndipo anazindikira kuti chisangalalo m’chilengedwe sichinali choperekedwa. Potumikira monga kalozera wa bungwe la California Native Plant Society ndi Sierra Club, iye anakula bwino monga mphunzitsi wa anthu okhala m’tauni, “Anandiyamikira ngati kuti anali kuphwando lopambana koposa konse!

Pansi pa chigwa cha oak ku Malibu Creek State Park kumapiri a Santa Monica, Kitz anali ndi aha! kamphindi pamene ankawona malo ozungulira opanda mitengo yodabwitsayi. "Mitsinje ya m'chigwa inali mitengo yofunika kwambiri komanso yochuluka m'mphepete mwa nyanja ku Los Angeles County. Anathetsedwa ndi anthu obwera kumene omwe ankawakolola minda, mafuta ndi matabwa.” Malo owombera pa TV "MASH," pakiyo inali ndi otsala ochepa chabe. Anatengera kukhudzika kwake molunjika kwa woyang'anira pakiyo. Posakhalitsa anali kubzala mitengo m'malo omwe adavomerezedwa kale. Zinkawoneka zosavuta poyamba.

Odzipereka amasonkhanitsa machubu amitengo ndi mawaya kuti ateteze mbande zazing'ono ku gophers ndi asakatuli ena.

Kuphunzira Kuyamba Pang'ono

Suzanne Goode, wasayansi wamkulu wa zachilengedwe ku Angeles District of State Parks, analongosola Kitz kukhala “mkazi waukali amene sataya mtima, akupitirizabe kusamalira ndi kupitirizabe kuchita zimenezo.” Mtengo umodzi wokha ndi umene unapulumuka pagulu lake loyamba la mitengo ya miphika. Tsopano popeza Kitz amabzala ma acorn, amataya ochepa kwambiri. Koma palibe chomwe chingalepheretse mizu ya acorns kufunafuna madzi. Mwa mabwalo 5 a chilengedwe omwe adabzalidwa mu February, okhala ndi mitengo isanu kapena isanu ndi itatu pa bwalo, mitengo iwiri yokha ndiyomwe idalephera kuchita bwino. Amafunika kuthirira pang'ono akamakula mwachibadwa. Kuthirira madzi mopambanitsa ndi chinthu choipa kwambiri chimene mungachite,” anatero Kitz, “mizuyo imafika pamwamba, ndipo ikauma popanda mapazi ake m’madzi, imafa.”

M’zaka zina amabzala kenaka kuthirira pang’ono kwa miyezi isanu. Komabe, m’chilala chaposachedwapa, pakufunika madzi ambiri kuti mbande zidutse m’nyengo yachilimwe. Native mulu udzu amapereka chivundikiro pansi. Agologolo ndi nswala zimadya udzu ngati palibe zina, koma udzu ukamera m'nyengo yamvula udzapulumuka zopingazi.

Kugwiritsa Ntchito Zida Zoyenera Kumathandiza Mitengo Kukula

Malo a msasa a MRT amawongolera mawonekedwe kuchokera pawindo laofesi ya paki ya Goode. "Mitsinje imakula mwachangu kuposa momwe anthu amaganizira," adatero. Pamamita 25, mtengo wawung'ono umakhala wamtali wokwanira kuti ukhale ngati nsomba za mbawala. Kwa zaka makumi awiri, Goode adavomereza malo obzala a MRT, kuwachotsa poyamba ndi akatswiri ofukula zinthu zakale a paki kuti zinthu zakale zaku America zikhalebe zosasokonezeka.

Goode ali ndi malingaliro osiyanasiyana okhudzana ndi zishango zamitengo zomwe zimafunikira, zomwe zimayikidwa maukonde kuti mbalame ndi abuluzi zisatsekeredwe mkati. “Kuteteza mitengo ku mphepo sikupangitsa kuti ikhale ndi minyewa yolimba yomwe imafunikira kuti ikhale ndi moyo, motero iyenera kutetezedwa kwa zaka zingapo. Iye anavomereza kuti mitengo ya msasa imafunika zishango kuti itetezere mitengo yaing’ono kwa anthu amene amasakaza udzu mwa apo ndi apo. "Inenso, ndimakonda kubzala chikonga ndikuchisiya chidzisamalira chokha," atero a Goode, omwe adabzala zambiri pantchito yake.

Wothyola udzu ndi chida chofunikira kwambiri pakulera mitengo yaying'ono. “Pamene tidayamba sitinkaganiza kuti tikufunika kudzidzimuka. Tinalakwitsa kwambiri, namsongole anakula!” adatero Kitz, yemwe amalimbikitsa mbewu zosatha m'malo mwa mankhwala ophera udzu. Mbadwa monga zokwawa za rye, udzu waumphawi ndi ma equestrian ragweed amasunga kapeti wobiriwira mozungulira mitengo ngakhale m'nyengo yachilimwe pomwe malo ena onse amakhala agolide. Iye amawombera mozungulira perennials mu kugwa kuti amerenso kukula kwa chaka chamawa. Podula maburashi owuma, akadzidzi ndi nkhandwe zimatha kuchotsa ma gophes ovuta omwe angawawononge mosavuta. Acorn aliwonse amatsekeredwa mu khola lawaya losatsimikizira gopher.

Brigade ya ndowa imapereka ma acorns ndi zomera zozungulira ndi chiyambi champhamvu.

Kupanga Chidziwitso cha Malo Kupyolera mu Mgwirizano

"Simungayerekeze kuti ndi zolakwa zingati zomwe zingachitike mukukumba dzenje ndikumata nkhuni," atero a Kitz, omwe sanathe kubzalanso Malibu Creek State Park popanda thandizo lalikulu. Anzake oyamba anali achinyamata omwe ali pachiwopsezo ochokera ku Outward Bound Los Angeles. Magulu obzala mitengo achichepere anali okangalika kwa zaka zisanu, koma ndalama zitatha Kitz adafunafuna bwenzi latsopano lomwe lingapitirire paokha. Izi zinapanga nthawi yochita zinthu zina, kupeza malo kuti akule ndikugwirizanitsa misewu ya Santa Monica Mountain ndi malo okhala.

Cody Chappel, Wogwirizanitsa Kubwezeretsa Mapiri a TreePeople, bungwe lina lopanda phindu lazankhalango ku Los Angeles ku Los Angeles, ndi katswiri wake wapano pakuwongolera khalidwe la acorn. Amateteza tsogolo la mtengo ndi antchito odzipereka ochepa omwe amatha maola atatu okha kuti aphunzire kasamalidwe ndi kakulidwe ka mtengo wa acorn. Chappel amatenga ma acorn omwe adasinthidwa kuchokera pakiyo ndikuviyika mu chidebe. Sinkers amabzalidwa, zoyandama sizitero, chifukwa mpweya umasonyeza kuwonongeka kwa tizilombo. Amalankhula za mapiri ngati "mapapu a LA, gwero la mpweya."

Chappel imakhala ndi zochitika zobzala MRT pafupipafupi, ndikulowa mamembala masauzande ambiri komanso gulu lotsogola lodziwika bwino lomwe limapeza ndalama kuchokera kwa omwe amapereka ndalama zambiri Disney ndi Boeing.

Malo omwe Kitz amakonda kwambiri pakiyi masiku ano ndi malo otsetsereka akuyang'ana kum'mawa, pomwe malo otsetsereka a oak tsiku lina adzalimbikitsa nkhani za "malo" ndi malingaliro. Anthu amtundu wa Chumash nthawi ina anasonkhanitsa makoswe pano kuti apange nsima m'mabowo opera a paki. Nkhani za maenje opera sizimveka popanda thundu. Kitz adaganiza zowabweretsanso, ndipo pochita izi adapeza malo ake kumapiri a Santa Monica.
