This episode was so delightfully hopeful and silly, and felt like taking a deep breath during a crisis

The stuff that came up from the hole was like shaved ice, which I guess is what the blade of the drill was doing.

Thank you! That makes sense.

#TeamUnqualified here with a maybe dumb question: what is PV/FPV? Looks like solar power generation? You had me at "lowering lake temperatures", but I don't see it defined in the article or on the website.

Mine just keeps losing his under the dryer, so, unintended hoard?

He is so photogenic though

The forest school educator certification course put on by Child Nature Alliance of Canada (CNAC) feels like a forest school for adults and was a transformative experience for myself and everyone I know who partook. And those happen around the country! I recommend taking a look if you are interested.

There is occasionally a workshop or training for grown-ups 😉 and I know of a few other forest schools in the area that do some programming for adults - stuff like workshops on campfire building, seasonal foraging, basket weaving, and even a men's spoon carving group.

Can Canadians join? For solidarity?

Oh this looks neat, I'll give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

Where can we find it once it's done? I want to read it.

Beautiful. We accept your offer.
