Phenology Talkbacks are an opportunity for listeners to connect with the station thru one of our favorite things: nature! Each week, listeners and students report observations and present questions to our resident phenologist, John Latimer.
What are you noticing? Send your observations via email or voicemail at 218-999-9876. You could even record a voice memo on your phone and send your thought that way!
If you are a teacher interested in getting your class on the phenology trail, John has created a whole phenology curriculum! Send him an email for more information!
