We connect you to northern Minnesota at Northern Community Radio and Tuesdays are extra special as we go deep into phenology territory to give you a comprehensive picture of the biological events happening in nature as they relate to climate. It's our day to really focus on what's going on in terms of climate and nature. We heard incredible reporting from students this week and we are really hoping they continue to call in their reports even if school is cancelled! If you have a report, leave a message at 218-999-9876 orsend an email to John. We want to hear from you!
