GentleLake Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Another interesting use for border collies. www.ibtimes.co.uk/chile-three-border-collies-are-planting-seeds-bringing-life-back-forests-destroyed-by-fire-1628737 Some of the captions refer to them as "trained." I do have to wonder just what that means in this context. I guess as long as a dog wants to run and has a good recall, just about any dog large enough to tote the backpack would do. Still, I'm glad to see it's border collies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcv-border Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I loved this approach to reseeding. I am ready to hike the Western forests that were burned this past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urge to herd Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Jovi, I'm going to send this to a fire ecologist here, see if I can take Gibbs for a run with a backpack full of seeds. Will let you know how it works out. It would be so very, very cool to do that here. Ruth & Gibbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
