As someone who has ran heavy equipment in the woods every machine is required to be pressure washed and inspected before it can go onto the next jobsite 👍🏼

Just fyi we have to wash our equipment spotless on 90% of our jobs and then spray it down with bleach and they’re closely inspected. I’d say your not totaly wrong but honestly that stuff goes by the wind far beyond equipment also many many many common folk just driving around brings it as well

I think you need to clarify whether the seeds are introduced from the machinery on accident or purpose…

I think it's more about the disturbance. breaking the ground and bringing up the seed bank

It’s not the equipment

Happens with Scotch broom in our area. Anywhere theres construction or roadwork, the trucks brings in seeds that take over.

just saying most any equipment that goes into a forestry area has to cleaned then certified before it enters a area

I’m familiar with your personal philosophy of reciprocity, but I would love to hear your “solutions” for scale? Can we transpose reciprocal values into huge restoration efforts done by let’s say the forest service? Love your stuff, thanks for all you don

Honest question: We dug a trench for a project on our property. All we used was shovels. No equipment bringing in seeds. The next spring Mullen sprouted all along the disturbed ground. I was told the seeds lay dormant for years but disturbing the soil awakens them. So how are we blaming the heavy equipment??? Like I said honest curiosity.

I’ve seen Mullen growing in wilderness areas where heavy equipment isn’t allowed so it’s not the heavy equipment. I’ve also seen bighorn sheep and deer eat it so it can’t be that bad

Redwoods Rising :
im glad folks are watching restoration carefully, however, before we point the bony finger of accusation, lets realize forest restoration is a new field and things may not be exactly as they first appear. For example, mullein seeds can stay viable in the soil for around 100 years before sprouting. Is it possible those seeds were brought in during a previous logging, grazing,off roading or firefighting operation? And is it possible the thinning and burning brought enough sun on the soil to make them sprout? Restoration needs to happen and its not gonna be smooth while we are all still newbies. Be curious before being condemning.

What happens when wildfires spread because of land that hasn’t been logged? Some places in north Idaho are so brushy it would spread and burn hot. Humans occupy this planet. It’s our home now.

I’m surprised at that amount of MULLIEN! Here in the Deep South I was lucky to get one stalk to fully grow which came up on its own. I think the deer must eat it up.

Can’t agree more. Spent a season spraying in glacier and other PNW state parks and the system is far from perfect, it’s better than nothing though . . . Right?

why would heavy equipment be loaded with seeds? 🤔 And as I have read of people operating such equipment, equipment is surface sterilized before entering any new location.

Those machines are not allowed to come in to an area dirty. Birds move more seeds then any human can

Spotted nap weed pops up in those disturbed areas too. Even if you work your own yard, you can expect nap weed to pop up. I live in Idaho.
