Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, Sports, StudentsBy Sadie Shields As the cold brisk air of Thursday morning hit the soccer field, the Lumberjacks prepared for their final game of the season, a quietness filled the air. Head Women’s Soccer Coach Grant Landy sat in his chair and seemed to soak it all in.

Sustainability and Habitat Building in the Garden
Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, StudentsBy Tara Linderborg-Cordry Wild animals thrive on a Fieldbrook property, living on plants such as manzanitas, native grasses, and wildflowers. Humboldt local Peter Haggard developed a unique, native-plant-focused garden on his one-acre property. This ecosystem gives Stellar’s jays a place to collect acorns from the oak trees, and a pond that is home to frogs and tadpoles. Haggard is a co-author with Jane Monroe on a 2025 Cal Poly Humboldt Press-published book, Rewilding: Native Gardening for the Pacific Northwest and North Coast. They encourage readers to replace ornamental lawns and gardens with native plants. Rewilding also involves creating a habitat…

Don’t touch the bats, they bite
Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, StudentsBy Sadie Shields On Sept. 23 around 7 p.m., Avi Kaplan, a junior botany student, stumbled upon quite a strange sight. Four freshmen gathered around a bat that was crawling its way across the library circle roads. “I scooped it up with a sock and used it like a hammock so it couldn’t bite me,” Kaplan said. “I moved it off the road near the tree, but figured someone might come and pick it up so it would be better to bring it to the wildlife sanctuary.” This bat — which turned out to be a Mexican free-tailed bat, a…

From Forest to Table: Foraging in Humboldt
Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, StudentsBy Tara Linderborg-Cordry Foraging is the practice of collecting wild foods like berries, edible plants and mushrooms. Many use foraging as an affordable way to supplement their diet with natural foods and plant medicines. Humboldt County has many factors which make it a hot spot for foraging. CJ Herman is a senior environmental science and management major and president of the Mycology Club. “We’re on the coast, so it’s very nice and damp here in the fall,” Herman said. “We get a lot of rain.” You can often find mushrooms and other edible plants hiding within the damp soil of…

Arcata, Cal Poly University Humboldt, HSU, Humboldt, Humboldt County, Humboldt State University, Opinion, Sports, StudentsBy Nico Patakidis On Sept. 29, the University sent out an email notification about rabies-infected bats having been discovered in Humboldt County — as well as an infected bat on campus. Rabies is a deadly virus that is spread through direct contact with an infected animal, such as scratches, bites or saliva when coming into contact with an open wound. The virus can only be transmitted through mammals, domesticated and wild. If you have come into direct contact with a rabies-infected animal, immediately go to the nearest emergency room. Rabies has a 99% fatality rate among infected humans who do…
