  1. Wow, I didn't think Americans cared about anything but making money and stealing land from people.
    I'm shocked that you guys actually care about some trees

  2. Do white people hand out mittens and toques? Very clean and oversized safety vests…. looks like lots hard work… Whenever a person of colour does something good… a white person shows up and takes credit… it's quite simple… Niceeeeeee propaganda there… makes alotta sensse, you should learn SARCASMMMMMMMM

  3. Less rain? Didn’t Mojave just get deluged with rain?

  4. Dear Jesus please help us protect the lady of liberty from silence and oppression forgive us We the People for letting this to be on earth

  5. Visited the reserve last year, and it was heart breaking to see just how much was lost in the last major fire. It felt as if half of the reserve was burned/dead. It’s still a beautiful park to visit, but it’s a reminder of what was lost and the time it would take to ever replace it.
