Stewardship is about balance. Not only between the many plant and animal species that make up a complex ecosystem, but also between stakeholder objectives and the lands wild inhabitants. Depending on your property goals, finding a middle ground between landscape aesthetics & wildlife habitat can be a difficult balance. Everyone loves the visual of a finely mowed field border, but during spring fawning and hatching times it could mean disaster for young wildlife. For our stewardship clients, we recommend restricting mowings during this time of year to simple access path mowings along crop borders, allowing access for invasive plant treatments and downed tree cleanup, but also keeping the high value edge cover for nesting and nursing wildlife. Later in the year, after young wildlife can move along safely, we will completely mow certain areas depending on their planned successional maintenance schedule, always making sure to have varied areas of successional cover on a property. This restricted mowing technique is also great at promoting full growth of plant species beneficial to pollinators. #landstewardship #propertymanagement #naturalresourcemanagement #wildlifemanagement #habitatmanagement #pollinators #wildturkeys #conservation #stewardship
For stormwater facility owners, it’s easy to forget just how quickly vegetation can overtake that often overlooked corner of your property. Here is a quick before & after of Patriot crews bringing a basin back into compliance after a recent failed local government tri-annual inspection. The facility will now receive periodic maintenance from Patriot stormwater crews to ensure continued compliance moving forward. We love to see these facilities come back to life! #stormwater #stormwatermanagement #chesapeakebay #propertymanagement #waterquality #naturalresourcemanagement #landstewardship #pondmanagement
Gone far too soon. Chris was one of a kind. Selfless in every sense of the word. A humble Fireman & loving family man. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Go easy brother. #Repost @firehousepride No words could express the loss felt today and those to come by the family & friends of SSgt Christopher Slutman. To those that knew him, Chris was the embodiment of service & sacrifice - courage & commitment. A more humble and giving person you would be hard to find. He was a role model to so many that passed through the doors of @kentland33. His beliefs were rock solid and he always lead from the front. Chris was an inspiration in being true to oneself and chasing your dream. He left his career as a Firefighter in Washington DC to become an @fdny firefighter. He answered the call to serve later in life, joining the Marine Corps Reserve while working for the fire department. Despite his commitment to service & unwavering bravery, perhaps his greatest accomplishment of all was in the ferocity with which he loved his wife and three daughters. He was a shining example of what a devoted and loving husband & father should be. Although he left his mark on the fireground & the battlefield, Chris will be missed on the homefront most of all. In the end, what can you say about SSgt Christopher Slutman? Here was a man that gave without asking, who always led by example, and who loved 4 things without reservation: His Wife, His Daughters, His Fire Service & His Corps. He will be greatly missed, but his inspiration and sacrifice will live on in each of us. God Speed Brother. We will not forget you. @nypost ”FDNY firefighter among Americans killed by roadside bomb in Afghanistan A decorated FDNY firefighter was among four Americans killed by a roadside bomb near the main U.S. base in Afghanistan on Monday. Christopher Slutman, a married father of three, worked at FDNY Ladder 27 in The Bronx. Slutman, who was a 15-year veteran of the FDNY, also served as a U.S. Marine. He remembered him as a devoted father and hard-working FDNY member. “He was really a great guy,” the source said. “He loved being a fireman, and he was a real family man.”
As a firm believer in the principles of quality deer management, it’s always rewarding to capture post-season pictures such as this from our land & wildlife stewardship programs. Not only does a manager need to address the importance of an ecologically responsible local deer population, but they should also encourage the characteristics of a balanced sex ratio & age distribution. These recent pictures from one of our property monitoring programs give us a quick glimpse into what we would hope to find following a regulated hunting season. Healthy bucks & does alike from across the age spectrum which demonstrate both disciplined harvest selection & a bright future for herd genetics. Wildlife management is as much about managing the human element as the wild ones. #qdma #qualitydeermanagement #wildlifemanagement #forestmanagement #naturalresourcemanagement #gamekeeper #landmanagement #landstewardship #stewardship #environmentalstewardship
#tbt from earlier this fall when it wasn’t -1 degrees... If you build it, they will come... The fog rests gently in the tree tops this morning as we check on a @patriotnaturalresources constructed waterfowl impoundment. Planted with a waterfowl maker mix of rice & millet among others, we have waited until this week to allow water to fill this special spot for our land stewardship client. #patriotnaturalresources #wildlifemanagement #landstewardship #gamekeeper #wetland #landmanagement #naturalresourcemanagement #environmentalstewardship #stewardship

Recent rains and melting snow swell the Monocacy River to its banks. Every once in awhile you just have to stop the truck and take in the sites. It’s also a good chance to feed your mind a little river knowledge from Wiki - “The Monocacy River is a free-flowing left tributary to the Potomac River, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean via the Chesapeake Bay. The river is 58.5 miles long, with a drainage area of about 744 square miles. It is the largest Maryland tributary to the Potomac.” #themoreyouknow #monocacyriver #potomacriver #chesapeakebay #waterquality #floodwaters #naturalresourcemanagement
Streamside is the best side. Loving field work with these wintertime flows & snows 👍 #stream #winter #snowfall #naturalresourcemanagement #chesapeakebay #waterquality
