Happy Belated Buck Moon Podcast! At long last, the new podcast episode is published. People, are you really listening to this? I get around 4,000 downloads a month. Which is GREAT. But not amazing…

Using community science and field research, the Jiger Lab at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth compiled a list of the most important plants for threatened northeast bumblebees, solitary bees, and butterflies.
Also listed are preferred nectar sources and host plants, as well as the growing conditions for all plants mentioned.
Obsessing over climate catastrophes? You can track wildfires online all over the world with NASA's new Fire Information for Resource Management System.
You go for your faithful dichotomous key, but remember that you left the four-volume set in the car.
It's overseen by superhero Alan Weakley and has four regions covering 19 states.
The app works offline to help you identify plants while learning botany and regional ecology.
You strike me as someone who's interested in incredibly long and nerdy botanical newsletters.
Might I also interest you in Gather and Sow? It's a fantastic monthly investigation at the crossover of botany, agriculture, and the culinary arts.
This month is all about brambles, rubus and their many fruits, the ubiquity of driscolls and their efforts to eradicate berry stamens, and why every rose does not, in fact, have its thorn.
