One of the coolest details about @tanvidg.bsky.social's outing with a field recordist is that a mic placed on a redwood produced this persistent low rumble—she thought maybe the sounds of fluid running through the tree. The sound of its lifeblood!? Does anyone know? baynature.org/2025/06/12/t...

A couple weeks ago, I chatted with the guy who helped write those main climate funding legislations about what they were meant to do - and what they might become.
Our Wild Billions project examines the impacts of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act on nature. David Hayes, key architect of the bills, weighs in.
