Talkbacks

Hearing from our listeners is our favorite! Each Tuesday we share the phenology related comments, questions and reports from people just like you - regular people who look around and take notice while outside. Have you noticed something unique happening outside related to climate? Tell us about it! Email comments@kaxe.org or call our talkback line and leave a message at 218.999.9876.

Want to get your classroom engaged in phenology reporting? Send our resident phenologist John Latimer an email at jlatimer@kaxe.org. He'll get you going!

John Latimer

As a mail carrier in rural Grand Rapids, Minn., for 35 years, John Latimer put his own stamp on a career that delivered more than letters. Indeed, while driving the hundred-mile round-trip daily route, he passed the time by observing and recording seasonal changes in nature, learning everything he could about the area’s weather, plants and animals, and becoming the go-to guy who could answer customers’ questions about what they were seeing in the environment.
