Strips of prairie are good for the soul... soil that is. Ok, both. Check out the great story from @annenbcnews. environmentamerica.org/cente…

Strips of prairie alongside crops can save the soil

Native prairie is good for the soil, good for bees -- even good for high school senior portraits. Check out the NBC News story.

If you love pumpkin pie, give thanks to bees. #savethebees #Thanksgiving environmentamerica.org/cente…

Thanksgiving, delicious pumpkin pie and the role of pollinators

Bumblebees, squash bees and honey bees pollinate the pumpkins that lead to pumpkin pie, and bees pollinate many of the foods on our Thanksgiving table.

The fall monarch butterfly migration is underway. Here's some food for thought about the challenges facing these wonderful orange and black flyers. #butterflies environmentamerica.org/artic…

For struggling butterflies, if it’s not one pesticide, it’s another

Glyphosate drove the decline in monarch butterflies in the past. A new study says neonics are the main culprit in recent butterfly losses in the Midwest.

National forests are critical for local communities, as a tool in fighting the #ClimateCrisis, and as a source of drinking water for 60 million people nationwide. It’s time to pass the Roadless Area Conservation Act (#RACA) & protect our national forests for future generations!

“But there's still work to do. Permanent protection still must be implemented to prevent future chicanery from undoing BWCA protections or letting them expire. Legislation authored by U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum would do that and merits swift passage.” startribune.com/a-historic-s… – at Washington, DC

A historic step to protect the BWCA

Science, not politics, guided the Biden administration's 20-year mining moratorium. This is what natural resources leadership looks like.
