PROTECT THE BEES ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒผ

France is moving to ban bee-killing pesticides โ€” a powerful step toward protecting our pollinators and nature. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’›

Bees are tiny, but their role in our food system is enormous.
A safer world for bees means a healthier future for us all.

Protect bees. Protect flowers. Protect our future. ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒŽ

This is wonderful!!

This is wonderful!!

Thank you to The Livestock Conservancy for the incredible honor of featuring San Clemente Island Goats on the cover of your Summer issue!

We are especially grateful that this issue not only highlights this remarkable heritage breed, but also showcases the next generation of livestock stewards. Seeing youth featured alongside these rare goats is a powerful reminder that conservation isn't just about preserving breedsโ€”it's about inspiring future generations to continue this important work.

Every San Clemente Island Goat represents an irreplaceable piece of agricultural history, and we're thankful for The Livestock Conservancy's continued commitment to raising awareness about endangered heritage breeds and the dedicated breeders and families working to protect them.

By shining a spotlight on our goats and the young people helping ensure their future, you're helping preserve living historyโ€”one generation at a time.

Love them!!

Instead of spraying them down, consider letting a patch thrive in a corner of your yard or garden. They're drought-tolerant, they attract pollinators, and they're basically free medicine and food. Plus, once you start using them, you'll stop seeing them as a problem.

The San Clemente Island goat lived feral on a remote California island, isolated for generations.
Then came eradication efforts in the late 1900s.
Most were lost.
A small number were rescued and brought to the mainlandโ€”forming the foundation of todayโ€™s population.
By the early 2000s, only a few hundred goats remained worldwideโ€”some estimates as low as 200.
Every San Clemente Island goat alive today traces back to that effort.
This isnโ€™t just a breed โ€” itโ€™s a second chance.
