2025 was mostly garbage, but there were some good moments.
One of my favorites was when a family of beavers built a dam in just a few days, saving the Czech Republic 30 million Czech koruna (US$1.2 million) for a wetland restoration project the government had been planning for 7 years. 🦫 🌿

These eager beavers saved the Czech government $1.2 million
After plans stalled for a new dam in the Czech Republic, eight beavers saved the day seemingly overnight. “At this point, nothing that beavers do surprises me.”

Calgarians are currently living in a monochromatic world.
Hoar frost or rime ice makes for a very different look to the world.

Because Magpies are such adaptable urban birds I’m always surprised when I don’t see them in BC. Turns out they co-evolved with bison and now like it here on the prairie so much they stay home.
Magpies rule the Prairies. Here's why they won't go national | CBC News

NEW: City of Calgary expects the water main break to be related to the Bearspaw South Feeder main, which ruptured in June 2024 and plunged the city into a summer of water restrictions amid a series of repairs. Emergency Operations Centre is opening tonight.

Puffins are social, so to attract them to Maine's rocky islands, National Audubon's Seabird Restoration Program put out decoys to attract real birds.
This puffin is trying to fit in with his new friend by standing on one leg.
Seabird peer-pressure can be intense.

I am interested in working with an artist on a graphic novel on soil and/ or global environmental change. The lab would have money to fund this.
Do you know of any graphic artists that would be interested?
