UVDrawdown

Challenge has been helpful in organizing my thoughts on these issues and recognizing my desire to actively participate in the effort to moderating the hardships climate change presents -severe storms, food sources for us, other animals and plants, new pests and diseases to our forest  etc...

attended talk held on climate change and how to stimulate progress towards addressing as a community. Recently built cold frame and we planted lettuce , pruned our fruit trees and dosed using natural compost tea to help tree battle stress as they draw on their stored nutrients at the beginning of another suiting cycle.
