ANALYSIS | Bird watching may build better brains, study says | CBC Radio A new study looking at the brains of expert birdwatchers found they were structurally more efficient, allowing them to retain details and absorb new information better than non-experts.

The windstorm on Sunday March 8th took down some large alder trees here at the farm and crush the fence on the way down. More firewood for the near future.
The same storm took down many trees and power lines in the valley and the power was out for many hours.

A good thing, & there are over looked additional yields, shade being one, heat another. Raised high enough for grazing &/or horticulture, they reduce evaporation & incr H2O infiltration. Earthworks needed in sloped areas. Tapping the heat is doable but more technical. Hot planets need shade.

Walking to England's oldest Oak tree: Majesty. YouTube video by Will Walking

How an underground fungal map of the world's oldest, slowest-growing rainforest trees can boost Earth's resilience The temperate rainforests of the Chilean Coast Range are home to a spectacular array of life: iridescent blue lizards, tiny wild cats called kodkods, and curly vines of waxy red bellflowers. Towering ...

Globally, mycorrhizal fungal communities move roughly a billion tons of carbon per year into Earth's soils, above all in old-growth forests.

Wild, natural ecosystems are the bedrock of a healthy planet. It's time we started recognising and acting on that.

Why you need a hazel in your garden | The RHS YouTube video by RHS - Royal Horticultural Society

Hazel nuts / filberts are fairly easy to grow in a wide range of temps & soils. Each shrub makes transplantable side shoots AND seedling volunteers. Great for chop & drop mulch, fodder (deer like 'em), nuts of course, habitat, wildlife support, screen, etc. If you lived near me, I'd give you starts.

We Should All Be Talking About Pangolins More. Here's Why. Pangolins are the only mammals in the world covered in scales. Meet the pangolin: a shy, scale-covered mammal whose name comes from the Malay word pengguling, meaning “roller” or “one who rolls up.” When threatened, that’s exactly what they do: curl into a tight ball of armor, transforming into something that resembles a pine cone. While this defense mechanism is effective against big cats and other would-be predators, it’s no match for poachers. An estimated 200,000 pangolins are taken from the wild every year to meet the demand for their meat and scales, making them the most trafficked wild mammals on Earth. Pangolins are quietly disappearing before many people have even heard of them. The more we talk about them, the more awareness we raise, behaviors we help change, and momentum we create for their protection. Here are six facts about pangolins to get you better acquainted: 1. They’re the only mammal on Earth covered in scales Intricately overlapping layers of scales coat the entire length of the pangolin’s body, like nature’s own suit of armor. Often mistaken for reptiles, pangolins are actually warm-blooded mammals who nurse their young, just like we do. At any sign of danger, the pangolin...

First Nations share salmon eggs to bypass dams | The Narwhal Across the colonial Canada-U.S. border, these First Nations are collaborating to support salmon spawning

Dams have blocked salmon from making their traditional migration through the Columbia River Basin, so these First Nations are sharing fish eggs across the colonial border to help the salmon on their journey. From our friends at @indiginews.bsky.social: thenarwhal.ca/syilx-salmon...
