This is very cool. My brother and I are documenting our land restoration process on a property we purchased in the Lockhart/Luling area (we are converting it to wildlife exempt). We haven’t gotten to the point where we are ready to set our property on fire yet though ha. P.S. I got married at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center! Very beautiful there.
This is a great experiment, but I feel with all the research done into regenerative agriculture, it is a shame you are not also studing the use of animal impact. Instead of or as well as mowing, you guys could get some chickens/sheep/goats/cows....animal manure would be so interesting! Thank you for what you are doing!!
Thank you for your feedback. As a nonprofit organization housed at a university, we prioritize certain areas of research, specifically about native plants. That's not to say there's no overlap with wildlife, especially pollinators. The science and conservation arm of our organization is starting or continuing many research projects including the largest Texas pollinator project of its kind. We partner with researchers at UT Austin and beyond and would welcome opportunities for additional collaboration with other organizations that are already conducting animal studies. We encourage you to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and sign up for our email newsletter if you haven't already for updates as they come.
So glad to see indigenous land management practices being studied!

I wonder which plots are more or less prone to invasive species "contamination"?

makes no sense to use fire unless you want instant results which also means you wouldnt do it more than once
The mowing is missing the manure and pounding down by hooves. This is a fundamental flaw in the program.
Do deer count as having enough hooves?
Because there is a whole lot of deer in Sounth Austin.
