Strength through Connection By Kelsey Ducheneaux, The DX Ranch 1. Contribute positively. To me, resilience means being able to exist in a manner that contributes to more life, more productivity, and more efficiencies. I am a botany and soil nerd, so when I think of resiliency, I have all these diagrams in my head of different plant physiological features that are indications of the plant's shift towards a more resilient way to exist with our soils. What I appreciate about the Great Plains is when you are involved in that resilient ecosystem and you're managing it in a functional manner that is conducive to enhancing the resiliency that already exists there, you see more productivity, more biodiversity, more grasses, and plants and animals coming in. Resilience really spawns new life, which in so many ways is magical to see. |
