Bogs, fens and peatlands are magical and mysterious!

Enjoy this great program by botanist and ecologist Liz Thompson and the Vermont Land Trust.

A wonderful presentation, thanks to #PollinatorPathway and Wilton Garden Club in CT.

#TheCaterpillarLab in Marlborough, NH is well worth a visit.

Why not #leavethetrees?

Do less work AND restore ecosystem function to our landscapes.

Letter to America about #Rewilding a suburban yard. A terrific 12-min. read.

"Despite America’s cultural myth of individualism, all of us are crushed, in some manner, let’s say oppressed—by toxic social norms.

Some great thoughts in here, incl:

"Some forms of wealth are not best measured in dollars but instead are a form of biological wealth—a part of our life support system."
