Land Use
Local Perennial Biomass
#51 Perennial Biomass
I will spend at least 60 minutes finding out if anyone is working on perennial biomass projects in my region and how I can get involved.
Today, I donated 10 Femme Kits to Femme International, an Africa-based organization dedicated to menstrual health in young girls. Data and evidence has shown that providing such access increases young people’s ability to stay in school, further their education, reduce unwanted pregnancies, and enable healthier livelihoods.
I’m looking forward to experiencing EcoChallenge month with all you fine people. Here’s some pretty little spring ephemerals from a local old growth forest to get us all in the mood. Let’s do this!
