Waterways: From the Hudson to the Sound
I proudly introduce you to Waterways, a fledgling new blog of mine. I will continue to add my occasional two cents to Squach's blog, but I feel that some of the content I want to write about is not fitting for this space. My new blog will be dominated by an informal study of the local aquatic ecosystems of Westchester County, the Bronx, and beyond. There will be frequent posts featuring the local wildlife, reviewing science books and literature, and attempting to raise awareness of the environmental treasures, and issues, in our own backyards. I invite you to take a look, give me feedback, and make suggestions for future posts. Thank you!

Bees!
Apparently native bees are having a rough time. Remember that we're called to care for the Earth - give 'em something to eat!
I'm on something of a gardening kick, so I may actually take my own advice.
Growers are also planting long strips of native plants, like lupine, poppies and goldenrod, to feed the native bees and help them flourish.
Gardeners can do the same thing, in backyards and terraces.
“You need to have continuous blooming, especially in early spring and late fall,” Mr. Seidler said. “Plant natives with a mix of flower shapes to accommodate a variety of pollinators.”
