Host Joe DeMare talks about the comedy night benefit for the Nature's Nursery wildlife rehab center. Next he gives a eulogy for the soon-to-be-extinct beech tree, being wiped out by a nematode from Japan. Rebecca Wood talks about hurricanes. Ecological news includes Antarctic sea ice melting, right wing attacks on the environment in Germany, and Ohio legislators repeating gas industry scripts word for word.
Beech leaf disease was first identified in a few Massachusetts communities in 2020. It has since spread to over 90 communities. Because it's relatively new, researchers are trying different approaches to find a way to save the trees

Sit back and relax with this gentle healing ‘clearing obstacles' May Meditation. Join me as I take you on a shamanic healing journey through the elements of fire, water, air, earth and lightening (electricity) through the infamous ‘Dark Hedges' from the Game of Thrones. The Dark Hedges were planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family to impress visitors as they approached the entrance to their mansion Gracehill house named after James Stewart's wife Grace. I thought this was symbolic as I have been hearing the word graceful boundaries a lot. Grace means ‘unmerited divine assistance give it humans for their regenerations' and ‘a virtue coming from God' so to me this feels like we will all be receiving divine assistance for our patience, dedication and hard work over the last 6 months hence why obstacles are being removed in May. The Dark Hedges shot the scene of Ayra Stark escaping Kings Landing so makes sense why I was shown this site to bring through as a shamanic healing session for you as we finally escape our torments and fears that have been holding us back and keeping us stuck. During this meditation I wondered what type of trees surrounded the Dark Hedges as I was shown the Hawthorn Tree because it's the May /Beltane tree so it's as interesting to read afterwards that they were Beech Trees because they symbolise the death of something. At the end of this healing meditation as we walk down the road through the Beech Trees we literally enter a doorway to a new realm. I am hearing a threshold and crossing thresholds is a way of moving from one state of being to another but this can bring uncertainty and change as we confront our shadow. We are creatures of habit after all and it is much easier to stay with the known and familiar yet if we refuse to confront what lies behind the threshold we will remain stagnant and stuck in a repeating cycle. Beech signifies the death of something but also stand for the changes that rise through realisation because it's gift is the revelation of experience.

Fagus grandifolia, the American beech or North American beech, is a species of beech tree native to the eastern United States and extreme southeast of Canada.
Join me and a loud chorus of cicadas during an extremely dry heat wave, leading to a story about the Origin of the Dog Days of Summer & Sweating like a Pig that may surprise you. But before we dig into why it's called the Dog Days, the episode starts with an update about an adored beech tree that dropped an enormous limb. (You may recall we spoke about Beloved Mr. Beach in Episode 45.) A sad day, but like all of us, trees need to stay balanced. We end with a reflection of Miss Ellie and Jolee cooling themselves in the garden during the Dog Days of Summer, bringing to mind a gifted plaque with a poem by an anonymous writer after Miss Ellie passed.

On this week's Good Growing podcast the crew chats with Extension horticulture educator Martha Smith about must-see botanic gardens and her favorite tree, the beech tree! From Longwood to Missouri Botanical Garden and much more, Martha points out some fantastic botanical gardens throughout the United States, and ones right here in the Midwest. We also discuss beech trees an under-rated and under-planted tree which happens to be Martha's favorite tree. Martha shares her favorite beech tree cultivars and how they perform in her yard. If you've never seen a fern-leaf beech tree, check out that section of the video. Martha is soon to be retired and so to wrap this episode we ask about some of her favorite moments with Extension and tips for us Extension educators who still have awhile to go before we hit retirement. What's a botanical garden? Is there a difference between that and an arboretum? Does Martha have a favorite botanical garden? Where is a botanical garden in Western Central Illinois? What is Martha's favorite tree? Why do we hardly see this tree in our part of Illinois? Martha goes into the different types of beech trees in her yard. What is beech leaf disease? Is this a concern in Illinois? Would it be okay to cut down a healthy tree you don't like to plant one you want? What tree would Martha recommend? Both Katie and Martha love ginkgo trees. Martha shares some of the unique ginkgo trees she has in her yard. With Martha about to retire, we ask her about some memories working with Extension What was your favorite part of the job? Best/ funniest memory? Greatest resource(s) as an Extension educator?

Why fracking is a tricky issue for Senate candidate John Fetterman. An environmental justice leader says vacant land in communities of color is "an environmental emergency." A citizen science project for the whole family can help save frogs. Plus, syrup for your pancakes doesn't only have to come from maple trees.
The Road More Scenic Roads are often used as a powerful metaphor for our life's journey. M Scott Peck wrote the famous, “The Road Less Travelled.” Robert Frost wrote a favourite poem of mine, “The Road Not Taken.” https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44272/the-road-not-taken But I've chosen a different road that I'd like to share with you. It's the longer way to go, which I call, “The Road More Scenic.” I can share more with you if you watch the short 4 minute relaxation video I recorded. https://youtu.be/E6OIAUSZkVM On business that took me to Woodfalls in the New Forest last week, I deliberately took the Scenic Route allowing me the joy of the Avenue of Beech Trees at Moor Crichel (twice) as well as part of the Avenue of Beech Trees at Badbury Rings (twice though not shown on the video.) I suspect 25 minutes was added to my journey (with Lady Penelope riding shotgun). In return for that investment, my spirit and soul were fed, and my body too with a picnic in the car in the pouring rain outside St James' Church, Alderholt... magic (thought sad that St James is no longer, "Open for Prayer.") Other high points include the Pyramid of Moss and Brick near Hale Park House - I have no idea what this fascinating construction is for. Perhaps you can guess if you watch the video. Breamore Mill - stunningly squatting beside the River Avon and astride the mill race. The lit Christmas Tree was a nice touch too. The Tree of Life and Hope at Wimborne St Giles (my title... they may just call it, "Bob," or, "Uncle.") Ten thousand Snowdrops and enough Mistletoe to bruise your lips for a Century. I've never seen so much Mistletoe. En passant, spotting of the ruined Knowlton Church and the Philosopher's Tower (also not featured), Dorset landmarks dipped in history. To conclude, the Norman bridge at White Mill, over the River Stour, which is likely to be the oldest bridge in Dorset. On this day, the Stour swollen by so many showers… a raging, rushing, river commuting to the sea. Then there were Egrets. Egrets? I've had a few... My point? Enjoy the journey... the destination may be a bit grim and final. On our route we were overtaken several times by drivers clearly in more of a hurry... but for what? Press Pause and enjoy the journey. Now, it's your turn. What treasures do you delight in when you go out of your way to take The Road More Scenic? [And if you fancy another uplifting bonus, check out this gorgeous song by Darrell Scott, “And The River Is Me.” https://youtu.be/ZieYi8t_m3M ] I look forward to reading about your treasures.
