Smell Like Dirt

Smell Like Dirt was on our local NPR Station, WFAE (90.7) on the program Charlotte Talks with Mike Collins talking about native plants! In case you missed it, here’s a link to the archive edition. And here are some of the resources we discussed on the show. Click here for the SNAKE video [...]

Are you Certifiable?

Ok, so most of us know about getting our backyards (or schoolyards, or businesses, etc) certified as a Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation, right? It’s a fun thing to do and gives you great bragging rights and a wonderful opportunity to educate friends and neighbors on providing the four elements of a [...]

Out of Thick Air

Well, summer arrived ahead of schedule and with a vengeance! We broke a record today here in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. 98 degrees. Hasn’t been that hot on this day since 1899! And we’re going to grow gills if it stays this humid for the rest of the [...]

The Spud-O-Matic!

At 11:28am on May 29th, 2008, Darryl Parker said…: I think someone could create a "Commuter" group for iMatthews and accomplish what you are talking about. Once you have several active participants we could look at automating some of the features...

My husband and I have quite a backyard haven for birds and dogs, so your tips on bluebirds, the mister, etc., have been fun to see. I'll be checking in to see others on your site. Thanks for your conservation focus.
