#CandelariaNaturePreserve celebrates four years of restoration
"Just because a species is non-native does not make it an invasive one, and some non-native species function to support restoration."
by Emmett Di Mauro and Elijah Ritch
February 7, 2025
"On Jan. 31, the Candelaria Nature Preserve in #Albuquerque hosted a tour of its ongoing #rewilding project. The public tours are given on the last Friday of every month from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and cover the preserve’s efforts to restore the 90 acres of former farmland in the North Valley, according to the Ciudad Soil & Water Conservation District website.
"Partnering with the City of Albuquerque Open Space Division, the Ciudad Soil & Water Conservation District provides an annual report on some goals for the Candelaria Nature Preserve, including plans for soil health. The project is in the fourth year of its 20-year span. The 2023 report can be found on its website.
"The guided tours are led by volunteers from the Friends of the Candelaria Nature Preserve, like Ruth Salvaggio.
"'What we’re showing here is restoration,' Salvaggio said.
"One example of this restoration is the addition of logs, which were brought in to create habitat, Salvaggio said. This invites #wildlife to make use of the land again. She also said the nature preserve planted several varieties of plant life for #butterflies and created an entire field dedicated to #pollination.
"The process of rewilding at the Candelaria Nature Preserve entails “transitioning the Preserve from non-sustainable agriculture to a mosaic of habitats that will support diverse native wildlife: wet and dry areas, hedgerows, grasslands, upland #shrublands, #ConservationBuffers, and #forage for wildlife,' according to the Friends of Candelaria Nature Preserve’s website.
"Just because a species is non-native does not make it an invasive one, and some non-native species function to support restoration. The workers carefully considered the place of certain #InvasiveSpecies, such as #ElmTrees.
"'They provide a canopy for birds,' Salvaggio said. 'They’re serving a purpose.'
"However, part of the project is to prevent new elms from growing, according to Salvaggio.
"#Teff, a type of grass native to Ethiopia and similar to #millet and#quinoa, was implemented in the preserve. Teff roots are shallow and the plant dies upon releasing its seeds, meaning teff is beneficial to the soil, Salvaggio said. In this way, teff acts as a natural mulch and a '#NurseCrop' that will support native plants in the future.
"Many #NativePlants are found in the preserve, too, including #amaranth, #BlueGrama, #sacaton, #mesquite, #saltbrush and #nightshade.
"One of the destinations on the tour was the nursery, where many native plants begin their lives. Later, they are taken and planted in select areas, including the mosaics — plots designed to be flooded — Salvaggio said. Dispersed wildlife such as #Mesquitetrees and #SacatonGrass grows in these areas.
"The work takes place on plots of former farmland separated by historic #acequias. An end goal is to meld the former farm plot zones to allow for the cohesive spread of the wildlife and return the land to its pre-farmed state, Salvaggio said.
"Bringing the land to its #PreFarmed state also includes careful land #terraforming in select areas, Salvaggio said. This is meant to carve out the original, natural #arroyos of the area.
"The guided tours are currently the only way for members of the public to see the Candelaria Nature Preserve. However, anyone can volunteer at the preserve from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. every Monday and Friday."

I'll respond in instalments to you.
#Millet to my surprise, is a relatively active tag here, just followed it, and something to follow-up. I get on well with it, culinarily, digestively and metabolically. It's also available in bio = organic in supermarkets here. I will normally germinate it before cooking, so growing some on would not be a big leap, apart from preparing a bed. Need to look into what it likes. Only issue I have with it here is, it's ridiculously overpriced as a foodstuff - like about €4 for a plastic 500g packet, meaning I tend to buy better value things. But as crop seed, price would not be an issue. A similar plant I have been part of an experimental project to grow, back in the '80s - '90s in SW UK was #amaranth. I'm tagging that as encouragement to others to do so, not because it's active, /yet/. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth_grain
#buckwheat is another.

Now this looks like an interesting project: https://github.com/amaranth-lang/rtl-debugger
"VS Code based debugger for hardware designs in #Amaranth or #Verilog"
Can you tell us any more @whitequark ?

"I thought I'd use Solarpunk Action Week as an excuse to start reducing our diet's reliance on the top four of the ten staple crops--maize, rice, wheat, potatoes, cassava, soybeans, sweet potatoes, yams, sorghum, and plantain--that humanity is overly reliant upon.
I cooked up some amaranth to go with a lentil-tomato-feta salad and braised collard greens. The little pile of nutty amaranth was viewed initially with skepticism, but the ultimate verdict was two thumbs up.
In the future, I'll try to set aside one or two days a week where we eat amaranth or quinoa instead of rice, wheat, potatoes, or even sweet potatoes as our carb."

I have to admit that I'm kind of not liking #Amaranth quite like I used to. It has some very bizarre semantics with respect to combinatorial circuit evaluation at or around clock edges.
Case in point: the load/store unit obviously has its own Wishbone bus master port. I can, in a unit test, create the conditions by which this port is supposed to assert CYC_O and STB_O, thus indicating the start of a bus cycle.
So, I set the inputs to the unit accordingly, I then yield, and then proceed to check the outputs are in the desired state. This will almost always fail. I have to yield one more time in order to see the results of the previous cycle, and then I check those results.
The result is a timing diagram which bears little to no resemblence to how it will run in the real world. A pipeline will not, for example, have bubbles injected every other cycle just to confirm outputs are in the correct state. Yet, in the unit test, this is exactly how you're apparently supposed to do things.
This is frustrating. I don't want to have to work in raw Verilog. That's like resorting back to raw assembly language because your C compiler understands chars and longs, but not ints.
But if I can't find a way around this issue, I fear this is what I will end up having to do.
Thing is, this might be a high-risk operation to take, because Amaranth depends on Yosys for simulation. The question is, is this really a Yosys issue? If so, switching back to Verilog will not have any benefit! It'll just be a waste of time!
Sigh.
Register file and ALU implemented in #Amaranth. Still wondering how I will handle the load/store unit; but for now, maybe I should focus on putting just these two pieces together and see how things work? Hmm....

@whitequark Element because of the markdown bubble mention bug that caused me to spam #amaranth due to bot interactions that will never be fixed.
Amazon Game Studios had to dogfood Chime and everyone was miserable because of that.
Microsoft Lync aka Skype for Business was really bad. Before my first week was over at Arxan I was running a pirate IRC server that everyone started to use until Slack came around.
Here's my mostly-working, sort-of-tested RISC-V 32-bit core using a 16-bit datapath. I've named it hapenny since it's around half the cost of most other small implementations.
This is specifically intended to fit a system with useful peripherals and performance (~10 MIPS) in an iCE40 HX1K, which is the smallest in a line of older, slower FPGAs.
Written in Python using Amaranth, which is not an endorsement of either yet.
