Stewardship Fence Building Timelapse
Helen Harbin, ONDA Board Member
“I connect with Oregon’s high desert through my feet, my eyes, my sense of smell, and all the things I hear. Getting out there is a whole body experience.” Supporting ONDA, Helen says, not only connects her with wild landscapes, but is also a good investment. “I felt like if I gave them $20, they might squeeze $23 out of it.”
Badger
Badgers are generally nocturnal, but, in remote areas with no human encroachment, they are routinely observed foraging during the day. They prefer open areas with grasslands, which can include parklands, farms, and treeless areas with crumbly soil and a supply of rodent prey.
Badgers are born blind, furred, and helpless. Their eyes open at four to six weeks.
Latin name: Taxidea taxus
1) Cut a page out of an outdated Wild Desert Calendar. (and, yes, this will also work with other calendars!)
2) On both sides, starting at the bottom of the paper, cut out 1 1/2 in. X 6 3/4 in. notches. Discard.
3) On the thicker side of the paper, fold in the sides to meet the 1 1/2 notch to make flaps
4) On the thinner part of the paper, fold in the bottom 1 1/2 in. to make a flap
5) Fold in half where the thick and thin parts of the paper meet
6) On the thick side, measure a point 3/4 in. down from the direct center
7) Cut lines down from the fold lines to the pre-measured point
8) Cut two diagonal lines from the fold lines to the side, 3/4 in. down
9) Glue the side flaps to the opposing side, LEAVING THE BOTTOM FLAP FREE
10) Fold bottom flap over top and add a mailing label.
Now, you’re ready to mail a dose of high desert beauty off to brighten someone’s day.
