Winter temperatures in Alliance, Nebraska can drop to -20°F (the record low is -40°F/C), but retired mailman Russ Finch grows oranges in his backyard greenhouse without paying for heat. Instead, he draws on the earth's stable temperature (around 52 degrees in his region) to grow warm weather produce- citrus, figs, pomegranates - in the snow.
Sasha Reed, research ecologist, shows a climate manipulation experiment studying the effects of increased temperature and altered precipitation near Castle Valley, UT.
A webinar from June 25, 2020 Tim Graham, PhD in Entomology. Sometimes it's hard to see how something as small as insects and soil organisms have such a big effect. If you're looking for more reasons to use alternatives to pesticides, this webinar is for you! We covered some of the amazing relationships of some bugs we can see, and even tinier critters that we can't see. Come along as we delve into the wealth of biodiversity that can be found in your landscape and beyond.
