What a delight to see your enthusiasm with the snake! For that matter, your energy about all the subjects is contagious.

What a fantastic video, I love your enthusiasm and how you are bringing awareness to such a unique environment.

What a fabulous video. Never knew about the Sandhills before. Can't wait to see that part of the park also. Thanks.

[@JustinC831]

Great video!

[@wallyr935]

Thanks for the video! One of my favourite habitats in one of favourite parks. First place I ever saw velvet ants and a huge variety of lizards. Looking forward to the next video :)

That was a lovely, interesting, and informative video. Thank you for sharing it. You called it a park expansion. Where is it / how do we get there? I wish you had included a map so we had a better idea of where you are talking about. The major downside that I see about this park, as well as for attempting to keep everyone on the trails, is how the narrowness of the trails you showed. Those narrow trails make it impossible for mobility impaired to use and stay.

I found a rubber boa in the Sierras near Spaulding Reservoir

I've only seen one in southern Oregon. It was Big. Supposedly had them in the Bay area but I never saw one there. Cool you saw One in the mountains 🌍🧬🌍

YOu guys are an Awesome team.

[@AnaHiatt]

Awesome video!! Loved it, thank you. I found a rubber boa on a trail near my house about a week ago. I'd never seen one here before, so it was pretty exciting!

[@aqua_riumplant]

I didn't know this park exists. Thank you for sharing :D the landscape looks so unique! :3

Wow‼️ Great video

[@mendynoma4272]

Great video!❤

[@GaiaCarney]

Thank You for creating & sharing this informative video! I’d never heard of this ecosystem before 🤗 When a plant, like monkey flower, is threatened, do you gather seeds and attempt to propagate it?

[@fugueine]

There are many native plant nurseries and other groups in California that perform plant surveys and sustainably collect propagules to grow plants for habitat restoration and low water gardening. I was involved in that when working for The Watershed Nursery.

[@debijane6747]

Thank you! What a treat!

[@lowlee78]

Are you referring to the Allen’s and Rufous just as orange hummingbirds because of the decision to stop using people’s names? It struck me as odd that you were so good about naming the species of plants and the gnatcatcher but not the hummers. I live in SLV and only learned about the Sandhills when I happened to turn down a random road. I haven’t hiked there yet. Thank you for this. I gasped out loud when you revealed that it was a rubber boa. Jeaaaaalous of that sighting. The snake run was such snake-nerd perfection. Solidarity fist bump. Are there local tarantula species up here?

Well done video. Next let's bring back the California grizzly (it's on your logo after all).

[@PersianWombat]

Stellar!!

[@paulaubrey3790]

Great video but i have to ask why is his top shirt button fastened, shoul only be fastened when wearing a tie, unless of course theres a personal reason

[@hu_b]

not aware of that one is it a law, social convention, park regulation, youtube guideline, ancient wisdom or ?

[@RACCOONSQUID]

Shouldn't there be a couple coast redwood groves growing in the sandhills? I didn't see any in the video, but with all that coastal fog and occasional thick needle substrate, it should at least be encroaching on the outskirts right? Seems to me like this area has way more in common with El Dorado national forest than it naturally did in the past.

[@shredchic]

Yes, coast redwoods are adjacent to, and you even see the odd small grove in the creek beds of the sandhills! It's so unique.

Shure wish this beautiful town wasnt being ruined by demon freaks.
