New study shows: EV batteries last much longer than expected

So, my neighbor and I share a property line which contains a wooded area full of blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, sweet pea and other plants (as well as trees). We've been talking about taking walks together to see what's out there, figure out what's invasive, and growing more for the local wildlife (and maybe ourselves -- we've had some great blackberry harvests in the past). We both garden for pollinators in our yards, so it would be great to collaborate (and maybe include some of the other neighbors). I just bought a couple of books that might prove very useful with this endeavor!

There's a companion website for #TheWoodsInYourBackyard ! Sweet! It also has PDF versions of the book (I like having physical copies of books).

The Woods in Your Backyard

"This web site was developed as a companion piece to 'The Woods in Your Backyard: A Guide to Your Woodland.' This resource guide was developed by the Maine Forest Service to help you understand the woods in your backyard and provide ideas about how to work with your property, whether you own a 1-acre lot or 20 acres on the edge of town.

"A directory of state agencies and natural resource-based organizations can be found beginning on page 3 in Chapter 1 and also in the Chapter 1 section below. These agencies are good initial contacts and a great source of additional information on a variety of topics.

"'Backyard Family Activities' are included at the end of each chapter to help you learn more about your property as a family. The activities are most suitable for older children and teens, and they all require adult supervision. Teachers and youth group leaders can adapt them for use with older students. When completed, the Backyard Family Activities also provide a planning framework for working in your woods.

"We hope you enjoy this web site and find the information enjoyable and valuable!"

New study projects a sharp rise in temperature- and pollution-related mortality, with the impact of temperature surpassing that of pollution for a fifth of the global population #Environment

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Incredibly stunning day on top of W6/SC-311! Activated with Mark KD7DTS, Di KO6BTM, and Ormoo the cat. Had a chance to finally use my KH1 Ashi Paddle 45 given to me by @7L4WVU during my recent visit to Japan. This paddle is awesome!!

As H5N1 continues to spread among livestock, I strongly encourage people NOT to consume unpasturized eggs or milk products (or raw beef). While you might not get sick, you could serve as a host for the virus as it mutates toward human-to-human transmission capability. bsky.app/profile/hele...
