- Robin Wall Kimmerer recently sat down with Yale Environment 360 to discuss her new book, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World.
“The language of natural resources suggests that we own them, that we deserve them, whereas I want to remember that it’s a gift. We haven’t earned berries. We have not earned oxygen to breathe. We can’t buy it. It is not a commodity. It’s not a natural resource. To me, it’s a gift from the natural world.“ - Earth is warming, so why is it so cold? Martin Keubler of DW explains that climate change impacts regions differently. The Arctic is warming up to four times faster than other areas, and some scientists believe this rapid warming might be weakening key wind systems, like the lower jet stream and the upper polar vortex, that normally confine extreme cold to the far north.
- How can we leverage the power of fungi, microbes, and plants to reduce erosion, clean up pollutants, and promote natural recovery?
Southern California’s recent fires, along with the risks of debris flows and widespread contamination, have raised serious concerns about protecting homes and ecosystems. Danielle Stevenson and the new The Center for Ecological Remediation (CAER) present “Strategies for Bioremediation of Fire-Impacted Sites in Southern California“, a webinar conversation with bioremediation practitioners & scientists. We hope to see you there! Wednesday, February 26, 7–9pm EST - This one’s for our Providence folks! Break free from “Lawn and Order” with Prickly Ed’s Cactus Patch and the 2025 Living Landscapes Learning Series! This event series brings together local experts to reimagine our own outdoor spaces in ways that boost biodiversity, absorb carbon, and connect us to nature. Through science, design, and creativity, these fun and practical workshops help transform our own spaces into thriving, eco-friendly havens.
