Earth Day 2021 - Speak Up, Make Changes!
George’s “Bristlecone Pine II” - Over 2000 years these Bristlecone Pines have survived.
This morning ‘s Chicago Tribune front page greeted me with a headline at the bottom of the page, “What might be ahead for birds, fish, and trees facing Illinois’ changing climate”. Not surprisingly, the article let me know how much more rain we have had in the spring, and how much hotter it has become in the summer. We will see species of trees, birds, fish - and more - shift and either move further north, or die out.
In California’s Death Valley, Will sightings of the desert Bear Poppy become even more rare due to lack of rain?
Will the Sierra Fringed Gentian - and other High Sierras wildflowers - not bloom because of more severe high temperatures?
Forget-Me-Not, says this little posy for her earth!
