Tuesdays are special at Northern Community Radio. It's our day to really focus on what's going on in terms of climate and nature. During out talkback time we share observations from listners. When school is in session, in addition to regular listener reports, we hear from young phenologists across Minnesota when they call in their classroom phenology reports... This week Chris called in a report from Hill Lake near Hill City and we heard from school kids in Shevlin, Grand Rapids, Kelliher, Pike Lake, Weaver Lake and Northfield! Check out each report to find out what's happening across Minnesota! You can send along a note to report what you've observed outside by emailing us or leaving a voice message at 218-999-9876! Also, don't forget to check out the KAXE-KBXE Season Watch Facebook page!
