30 Pound 4 Ounce Watermelon

The watermelons are ripening fast now and we’ve harvested another whopper.  A good year despite a terribly dry June thanks to the water well pump installed for our remote garden.  Growing watermelons in Michigan is a good trick, considering the relatively short growing season but our 14 hills have provided some 60 melons and they’re some of the best ever.

DSCF Grant Supports K9 Anti-Poaching Unit

DALLAS – DSC and DSC Foundation (DSCF) grants are once again going directly to funding conservation and anti-poaching activities for wildlife. DSC and DSCF granted funds to build and sustain the South African Rhino Protection Programme’s K9 unit, trained and housed at the South African Wildlife College (SAWC). The tracking dogs team with field rangers in finding and capturing suspected poachers.

Specifically, the grants will be used to build dog kennels and support operational expenses, including feed and training. Without the K9 unit, field rangers are left at a distinct disadvantage. The success rate is approximately 30 to 1 when comparing a ranger team with a K9 asset to one without. In the near future, the K9 facility at SAWC will be available to train rangers from other countries in southern Africa. Read more
