Along stretches of riverbank in the southern Adirondacks, rare Arctic-type flowers are blooming now in the fragile slices of native grasslands that are meticulously groomed each year by the scouring…See More

Perennial Pet Peeves

Local VolcanoesWhen you think about it, landscape trees have a rough life. Firstly they don’t get to choose their neighborhood, whether good, bad or indifferent. Depending where they are planted, they may need to contend with helpful watering by territorial dogs, materials-testing by energetic kids, entanglements with errant kites, or other issues.Rooted in one spot day in and day out, year after year, they suffer from – well, boredom, I imagine. And from restricted root area, drought stress,…See More

Helping Trees Recover from Flooding
