Akatora mhosva yake akananga kwasabhuku. Nenguva isipi akanga ava kudyara miti munzvimbo dzakanga dzatenderwa kare. Zvaiita sezviri nyore pakutanga.

Pamatenderedzwa gumi nematatu ecosystem akadyarwa muna Kukadzi, aine miti mishanu kusvika misere padenderedzwa, miti miviri chete ndiyo yakatadza kukura. “Dzinoda madiridziro mashoma kana dzichinge dzave kurima zvega. Kudiridza zvakanyanya ndicho chinhu chakaipisisa chaungaita,” akatsanangura kudaro Kitz, “midzi yacho inouya pamusoro, uye kana ikaoma isina tsoka dzayo mumvura, inofa.”

Mune mamwe makore akadyara ndokuzodiridza zvishomanene kwemwedzi mishanu.

Kushandisa Zvishandiso Zvakakodzera Kunobatsira Miti Kubudirira

MRT's campground oak inovandudza maonero kubva kuGoode's park office window. "Mioki inokura nekukurumidza kupfuura zvinofungwa nevanhu," akadaro. Pamamita makumi maviri neshanu, muti mudiki wakareba zvekuti unokwanisa kushanda semhashu. Kwemakore makumi maviri, Goode akabvumira nzvimbo dzekudyara dzeMRT, achivabvisa kutanga nepaki archeologists kuitira kuti maNative American artifacts arambe asina kukanganiswa.

Goode ane manzwiro akavhengana pamusoro pezvidziviriro zvemiti zvinodikanwa, izvo zvakasungirirwa mambure ekuchengetedza shiri nemadzvinyu kubva pakubatwa mukati. "Kudzivirira miti kubva kumhepo hakuite kuti igadzire matishu akasimba echirimwa avanoda kuti ararame, saka anofanirwa kuchengetedzwa kwemakore akati wandei." Akabvuma kuti miti yepamusasa inoda zvidziviriro kudzivirira miti midiki kubva kune dzimwe nguva anoshinha sora. "Ini pachangu, ndinosarudza kudyara acorn ndorega ichizvichengeta," akadaro Goode, akadyara zvakawanda panguva yebasa rake.

Sora-sora chishandiso chakakosha pakurera miti midiki. “Patakatanga hatina kufunga kuti taida pre-emergent. Takakanganisa, masora akakura!” akadaro Kitz, anokurudzira zvirimwa zvemusango sechinzvimbo chemishonga yesora. Zvizvarwa zvakadai sezvinokambaira rye, hurombo sora uye equestrian ragweed vanochengetedza kapeti yakasvibirira yakatenderedza miti kunyangwe munguva yezhizha yakaoma apo nzvimbo yese iri yegoridhe. Iye sora-whacks kumativi perennials mukudonha kuti reeder gore rinotevera kukura. Nekucheka bhurasho rakaomeswa, mazizi nemakoyo anogona kubvisa magoferi anonetsa anogona kuvaparadza nyore nyore.
