Pollinator Highlight: Sulphur Bukweat 🌼
Sulphur Buckwheat (Eriogonum umbellatum) is a species of wild buckwheat and is native to western North America from California to Colorado to central Canada, where it is abundant and found in many habitats, including the sagebrush steppe and alpine areas.
Liking well-drained soil—even gravel and sand—it takes heat, cold and places that barely support plant life. It is normally found at about 4,000’ in sage scrub.
Sulphur Buckwheat attracts bees, hover flies and butterflies, and is eaten by various types of mammals, and is also a larval host and nectar source for lupine blue butterfly.

"To see a world in a grain of sand & a heaven in a wildflower."

🌸 Happy #NationalWildflowerWeek! 🌸
Milkweed plants serve as an important food source for a number of insect species that help keep nature in balance as well as pollinate some of our most important crops.
But native milkweed is also the key to the survival of the iconic and endangered monarch butterfly.
The milkweed is one of the most important pollinator-attractor plants that we seed in the Sierras and Truckee Meadows to restore habitats.

With an average of less than 10 inches of rainfall each year, Nevada is the nation’s driest state. However, underground water supplements rainfall to enable incredible #biodiversity in Nevada. The Silver State has the 11th highest biodiversity in the U.S., with more than 300 species found nowhere else in the world.
Groundwater is a precious resource, as it supports our ecosystems and communities. Most of the world's liquid freshwater is groundwater, which supports clean drinking water, farming, ecosystems, industries and more, and is essential for helping us adapt to climate change.
Did you know….
🐾 More than 40% of Nevada's 300+ endemic species rely on Groundwater-Dependent Ecosystems
🌱 2M acres of Nevada (3% of the state) is wetlands
🐠 600,000 acres of habitat are supported by Nevada's rivers & streams
💧 More than 25,000 springs are found in Nevada
Celebrate World Water Day with us by learning more about Nevada's groundwater-dependent ecosystems.

Soil-Tech is proud to be a partner on this this utility-scale solar project in Moapa, Nevada, alongside McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. and EDF Renewables North America.
Arrow Canyon Solar is a 274-MW solar and a 91 MW energy storage project that not only adds to Nevada's renewable energy portfolio, but provides local jobs for the state and the Moapa tribe.
We constructed the wildlife fencing for this 1,400 acre site, as well as handled soil stabilization and dust control applications, ensuring air quality compliance and clean air for the desert habitats.

Today is #WorldWetlandsDay 🌎
Nearly 90% of the world’s wetlands have been degraded since the 1700s, and we are losing wetlands three times faster than forests. Yet, wetlands are critically important ecosystems that contribute to biodiversity, climate mitigation and adaptation, freshwater availability, world economies and so much more.
This year’s Wetland’s Day theme is to:
✔️ VALUE – wetlands for the multiple benefits and nature-based solutions they provide for human well-being and a healthy planet.
✔️MANAGE – wetlands wisely and use them sustainably so we can conserve them and maintain the health of these critically important ecosystems.
✔️RESTORE – lost and degraded wetlands to revive the rich biodiversity and life found in these life-sustaining
ecosystems.
and LOVE wetlands.
Our local wetlands along the Las Vegas Wash provide numerous benefits to our community. Primarily, it allows sediment to settle out as water moves through the system, providing habitat for a diverse community of microorganisms that break down organic and inorganic pollutants. Wetland vegetation works as a filter, taking up nutrients and other potential contaminants from the water as it flows to Lake Mead.
To get involved and volunteer at the next cleanup event at the wash on March 12th, visit our link in bio.
And don't forget to Value, Manage, Restore and Love wetlands everywhere.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded $791,000 in Clean Water Act grants to the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP) for 12 projects that will address nonpoint pollution sources, improving water quality in streams and rivers across the state.
Just a few of the projects include streambank stabilization & restoration on the Carson and Walker Rivers, various river cleanup events in the Truckee River watershed, and also supporting the Las Vegas Wash Green-Up events.
