I sat down and learned a little bit about the Arbor Day project going on in Ms. Weiss's 3rd Grade class at Wylie Elementary.

Today, we commemorate Arbor Day with a profound exploration of the Erdtree, the monumental symbol from the acclaimed video game, Elden Ring. In our discussion, we delve into the multifaceted significance of this iconic tree, examining its role as a central narrative element that intertwines with the themes of life, death, and rebirth within the game's intricate lore. Moreover, we reflect upon the philosophical implications of the Erdtree, its dichotomy as both a source of life and a parasitic entity, prompting contemplation on the moral complexities it embodies. Accompanied by my co-host, Christian Ashley, we share our insights and personal experiences with Elden Ring, revealing how the Erdtree shapes our understanding of the game's world and its characters. Join us as we traverse this landscape of myth and meaning, celebrating both Arbor Day and the artistry of FromSoftware's creation.The annual Arbor Day celebration takes a unique turn as TJ Blackwell and Christian Ashley delve into the enchanting world of 'Elden Ring', focusing particularly on the Erdtree, a pivotal element within the game. The discussion begins with an exploration of the lore surrounding the Erdtree, emphasizing its duality as both a symbol of life and an emblem of decay. The hosts articulate how the Erdtree represents the interconnectedness of the game's universe, serving as a focal point for players' journeys. They discuss personal experiences with the game, revealing how the initial sight of the towering tree leaves a lasting impression, compelling players to explore its mysteries further. The episode also touches on the philosophical implications of the Erdtree's existence, posing questions about the nature of life and the burdens of immortality in the context of the game's narrative. As they dissect the layers of lore, they highlight the intricate storytelling and environmental design that FromSoftware is renowned for, making a compelling case for why the Erdtree is not merely a backdrop but a character in its own right in the player's journey through the Lands Between.Takeaways: The Erdtree serves as a central narrative element in Elden Ring, symbolizing life and death intertwined within the game's lore. Players must navigate a complex world where the Erdtree represents both hope and a source of manipulation by powerful entities. Understanding the lore surrounding the Erdtree enhances the gameplay experience, revealing deeper connections to the overarching story and conflicts. The game introduces a philosophical dilemma regarding the nature of life and destruction, particularly through the choice to burn the Erdtree. Elden Ring's open-world design allows players to explore at their own pace, making the discovery of the Erdtree's significance a personal journey. This episode emphasizes the rich mythology surrounding the Erdtree, drawing parallels to real-world mythologies and the consequences of blind faith. .We discuss all this and more in this one!

Extension Horticulture Educator Chris Enroth shares tree tips with listeners this Arbor Day.

It's a day after Earth Day (sorry) and while we recorded this a week prior, I think we did a pretty good job capturing the essence of earth by celebrating a very-Auburn event coming up -- CLEAN SWEEP! in case you've been living under a rock (don't worry, we'll clean those up) Clean Sweep is Auburn's annual Earth Day-orbiting (pun intended) event where thousands of folks from across the city will descend upon parks, green spaces, flower beds, sidewalks, streets? idk, all across the City of Auburn to plant plants, flower flowers, and clean and sweep. You can still pre-register for the event and pick your spot, or just show up to the Community and Events Center at 8 a.m. for FREE BREAKFAST and tag along to a park near you. Stick around to the end of the episode to test your Arbor Day knowledge and learn why you should never consume Dabomb hot sauce.

Thanks to the Lied Center, we had the opportunity to meet Dr. Tyson over Zoom and ask him two questions related to his Cosmic Perspective talk! He will be at the Lied Center tonight for a sold-out show.

On this week's show, your host, Justin Mog, plants some trees of hope with Dan Lambe, CEO of the Arbor Day Foundation (https://www.arborday.org/)! We are celebrating our national Arbor Day, coming up on Friday, April 25, 2025 by being in conversation with one of our nation's biggest tree-huggers! But Dan doesn't just love trees, he fights every day to protect, expand, and diversify the tree canopy all over the globe. Trees are vital to our communities. They clean our air by absorbing over 48 pounds of carbon dioxide annually while releasing oxygen. Trees filter our water, provide shade, slow storm surge and flooding, and provide habitats for wildlife. Each year, we lose 36 million trees due to age, disease, pests and severe weather. To tackle this issue, the Arbor Day Foundation has partnered with Subaru for the Subaru Loves the Earth initiative. Participating Subaru retailers across the country will give away 100,000 mature and regionally appropriate trees to communities nationwide. This is the largest corporate tree distribution in its history. This initiative supports the Arbor Day Foundation's mission to plant trees in the communities that need them most, helping to protect the planet for generations to come. Dan Lambe has committed nearly two decades of work to helping solve some of the biggest issues facing people and the planet through trees. Dan was named Arbor Day Foundation CEO in 2022 after 19 years in leadership roles at the organization. He has launched an initiative to accelerate the nonprofit's impact by planting 500 million trees with a focus in forests and neighborhoods of greatest need. The ambitious goal, set to replicate the number of trees planted in the Foundation's first 50 years in only five years, has helped spur remarkable growth within the organization and expanded the Foundation's global reach. Lambe is a trusted thought leader in the sustainable forestry space and he regularly speaks at conferences hosted by the United Nations, Sustainable Brands, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other high-profile industry events where trees and climate intersect. As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW! Sustainability Now! is hosted by Dr. Justin Mog and airs on Forward Radio, 106.5fm, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Monday at 6pm and repeats Tuesdays at 12am and 10am.

April is Earth Month which means Wisconsin residents are encouraged to get out and do something good for the environment. Alice In Dairyland, Halei Heinzel, shares some fun facts about sustainable agriculture efforts within the state. She also says that on Arbor Day, which is April 25th, she will be planting a tree in Crawford County to support sustainability efforts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the United States, Arbor Day originated in Nebraska. As settlers moved west, they were struck by the lack of trees. Newspaper editor Julius Morton used his platform to stress the importance of trees. His message resonated with readers. In 1872, he proposed a day dedicated to planting trees, and Arbor Day was born.

Amy talks with the CEO of Arbor Day Foundation Dan Lambe about Arbor Day Friday April 25thand giving away trees.

Spring has arrived, and with it comes the highly anticipated Blandy Garden Fair, a hallmark event signaling the true start of the season. Hosted at the picturesque Blandy Experimental Farm, this year's Garden Fair promises to be a festive celebration, full of nature's wonders and community spirit. In a recent Zoom interview, Janet Michael, the host of 'The Valley Today,' caught up with Melanie Mullinax, the Communications and Event Manager at Blandy. Melanie shared exciting details about the upcoming Garden Fair, a cherished tradition returning for its 35th year. 'Tickets go on sale April 1st,' announced Melanie, highlighting that the Garden Fair is not just a beloved event but also a significant fundraiser supporting the State Arboretum of Virginia. The Fair is set to take place over Mother's Day weekend, making it a perfect outing for families and gardening enthusiasts alike. With over 60 vendors offering a variety of plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, and nature-inspired gifts, attendees are sure to find something special. 'We also have a great variety of food trucks, music, and a fun children's scavenger hunt,' added Melanie, ensuring that there's something for everyone. This year's Fair will again feature a VIP preview night on Friday, May 9th, exclusively for Blandy members and active volunteers. 'It's a great opportunity to shop without the crowds, enjoy a glass of wine or beer, and indulge in delicious charcuterie from Burg Charcuterie,' Melanie explained. This exclusive event allows participants to savor the Fair's offerings in a relaxed, festival-like atmosphere. Garden Fair tickets are priced at $10 per car if purchased in advance online and $20 per car at the gate. Proceeds support Blandy's programs and the beautiful gardens maintained at the State Arboretum of Virginia. Interested attendees can visit Blandy's website at blandy.virginia.edu to secure their tickets and learn more about becoming a member to gain access to the VIP event. In addition to the Garden Fair, Blandy has planned a volunteer event to celebrate Arbor Day on April 25th. The goal is to plant 125 trees in Blandy's community forest, a venture started in 2011. 'We need about 35 volunteers to help us plant these trees,' Melanie mentioned, emphasizing the community's role in Blandy's ongoing conservation efforts. Blandy also offers a variety of educational programs throughout the year for all ages. Upcoming events include a virtual program on April 3rd titled 'Into the Weeds,' focusing on how nutrients shape grasslands, and a monthly series called 'Blandy Field Notes,' starting April 10th, which will delve into spring wildflowers. Membership at Blandy provides numerous benefits, including discounts on programs and exclusive invitations. 'We even have a membership for dogs, who are always welcome at Blandy,' said Melanie, showcasing the inclusive and community-oriented spirit of the arboretum.

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael chats with Gina Hilliard, President of the Luray/Page Chamber of Commerce, and Jen Jenkins, Parks Superintendent for Luray Parks and Rec, about the plethora of exciting events lined up for the community this year. Kicking things off, Gina and Janet discuss the chamber's rebranding efforts, which include a vibrant new logo, updated core values, and an impending website redesign. “We've received a lot of compliments on the new look,” Gina says, hinting at a fresh, community-focused vibe for the organization. Janet shares her enthusiasm, giving Gina a virtual pat on the back for the facelift. Jen Jenkins then takes the spotlight to outline the bustling calendar for Luray Parks and Rec. From the 21st annual Youth Trout Derby set for April 12th, to Arbor Day celebrations the following weekend, and the Movies on Main series, there's no shortage of activities. Jen passionately describes the Youth Trout Derby: “It's a big event for us. This year we're partnering with several groups to stock additional trout, ensuring a fantastic experience for everyone.” The derby, Jen highlights, is a community-sponsored affair, teeming with prizes, free lunches, and engaging activities for kids aged 2 to 15. Moving deeper into the spring and summer months, the conversation shifts to the upcoming monthly concert series, Evenings on Main. Starting in June, this free event features a variety of music from bluegrass to rock, accompanied by local food trucks. “Each concert is unique. It's a great place to hear good music and meet new people,” Jen explains. With a stellar lineup including local favorites and new bands, attendees are in for a treat. The July 4th celebration, dubbed Food, Tunes, and Boom, promises an expanded festival atmosphere with ten food trucks, multiple bands, and a fireworks finale. “It's really becoming a destination event,” Jen notes, highlighting new additions like inflatable activities and craft markets. PACA's beloved Sunflower Festival follows in August, bringing crafts, hayrides, and potential new attractions like axe throwing and a water obstacle course. “It's the hottest event literally,” Jen jokes, given August's sweltering heat. They discuss the finer details of these events, ensuring locals have all the information—whether it's where to register, what's new, or simply how to stay engaged through the town's online platforms. Gina briefly mentions the Luray Chamber's upcoming Business After Hours event at Blue Ridge Bank and the much-anticipated annual banquet in June. Mark your calendars for a Western boho chic-themed evening at Stover Hall, complete with a silent auction and Hanks BBQ.

Sen. Chuck Hufstetler, the bill’s sponsor, emphasized the need for data centers to pay their fair share due to their significant energy demands, which account for 80% of Georgia Power’s recent capacity increase request.

While much of the country waits until late April to celebrate Arbor Day, Florida marks the occasion several months sooner. Our subtropical climate makes it safe—and even beneficial—to plant trees during the cooler, drier winter months (with proper irrigation). By doing this now, young saplings have time to develop strong root systems before facing the intense heat and storms of the summer season. Perhaps you recently attended an Arbor Day event, or took home a tree to plant in your yard. This episode explores Florida Arbor Day and tips for caring for your tree.

Guest host David Horton of Radford University discusses America's trees and forests with Third President Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson said, “No sprig of grass grows uninteresting to me.” He told his friend Margaret Bayard Smith that any unnecessary cutting down of a tree should be regarded as silvicide, the murder of a majestic living thing. Jefferson wanted future cities to be planned in a checkerboard pattern with every other square permanent parkland. One of his last requests, just months before his death, was that the University of Virginia plant an arboretum. Jefferson's protégé Meriwether Lewis was so startled by the treelessness of the Great Plains that he wondered if they could ever be settled. Later in the program, Clay and David talk about the origins of the Soil Conservation Service and FDR's idea of a single endless shelter belt down the hundredth meridian from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
