Let's face it -- this is the summer of 'staycations.' However, as bad as things are, the dog days of summer don't have to be spent lamenting your dismal finances and wishing you were in St. Thomas.
While I was in the barn yesterday taking pictures of the building, I heard the distinctive call of the Western Tanager. The photo is nothing worth talking about, but I felt compelled to take it.
Summer should be a time for roaming, discovering and running outside -- but unfortunately, for all too many kids, more free time means more screen time and more structured activities.
When we think about human settlements throughout the world, we need to remember that we are sharing the earth with others.
Full disclosure: I work for National Wildlife Federation. But I believe so strongly that our gardens can fit into the local ecosystem and invite back wildlife forced into ever-shrinking wild areas that I'm not ashamed to make a "shameless" plug.
"...During the day I have only the power of those who sleep in the day - far fewer, so I am limited. Though I'm bolstered by people watching TV, since...
In an era of spiraling health care costs, nature's most promising pharmacy is the only thing that is still free. We ought to take better care of it.

New Zealand is not a large place, but acre for acre few places can match as a boater's paradise; the combination of rainfall, topography, enlightened conservation, and infrastructure is just right.
There is no more potent force than a mother fighting for the safety of her children. They don't have to be trained advocates, just spurred to mobilize. Think Lois Gibbs, who revealed the whole town of Love Canal, NY, was sitting on top of 21,000 tons of toxic waste.
My kids -- aged 21, 19 and 14 at the time -- decided after years of following us on vacation, it was time for them to lead mom and dad on an adventure. They were confident they could pull it off.
Last week Jon Entine, a visiting fellow with the conservative American Enterprise Institute, attacked the link between the decline of frogs globally a...
Standing by a riverbank in the morning stillness, I wondered if the silence was because the house was empty. Then I heard it. What hope it stirred in me! What resilience!
