Send us Fan MailMost nonprofits don't lose grants because they “aren't doing good work” they lose because they aren't ready to prove it. Grant strategist Lisa Eaves joins us to break down what funders actually look for, why preparation matters more than last-minute writing, and how small organizations can build a real path to sustainable nonprofit funding. Lisa shares the story behind her consulting firm, The Grant Liaison, and the idea that grant work is a partnership, not a magic trick you outsource. We talk about the three-way relationship at the heart of every award: the community need, the nonprofit's capacity, and the funder's goals. From there, she walks through her “Grant Quest” approach, including grant readiness, targeted grant research, tight compliance with RFP guidelines, and writing applications that feel polished, credible, and specific. We also dig into the part leaders often underestimate: what happens after you win. Strong grant management, outcome reporting, and clear evaluation data help you show stewardship and earn the next level of investment. Lisa explains why counting activities is not enough and how nonprofits can shift toward impact-based storytelling that resonates with foundations, corporations, and government funders. Finally, we zoom out to community leadership. Lisa makes the case for listening to the community in real ways, showing up consistently, and collaborating instead of competing especially when funding gets tight. If you lead a nonprofit, sit on a board, or support a coalition, this conversation gives you a practical map for smarter grant strategy and stronger community impact. Subscribe for more conversations like this, share the episode with a nonprofit leader who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find Community Possibilities.

Megan Eaves-Egenes is a Lowell Thomas Award-winning travel writer whose work explores the intersections of landscape, culture, and the natural world. A passionate advocate for dark skies, she is the editor of DarkSky International's Nightscape magazine and founded Dark Sky London, a community group focused on light pollution awareness. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Megan alerts us to our ever-brightening world. The proliferation of artificial lighting around the world has created so much light pollution that many of us can no longer see the Milky Way or experience the restful embrace of a natural night. As the dark becomes ever more elusive, it is a critical moment to stop, look up, and consider what we lose with the disappearing stars. https://meganeaves.com https://bookshop.org/p/books/nightfaring-in-search-of-the-disappearing-darkness-megan-eaves-egenes/5978221c68baf133?ean=9780306835360&next=t&next=t Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.

People, plants and animals all depend on the natural night – both its darkness and its starlight – for everything from regulating our sleep cycles to providing the inspiration for myths and legends. But darkness is disappearing, and with it, our view of the stars. The constant glow of streetlights, of headlights streaming down highways, and wasteful glare from skyscrapers left shining all night have created so much light pollution that the majority of Americans can no longer see the Milky Way or experience the restful embrace of a natural night. As the dark becomes ever more elusive, it is a critical moment to stop, look up, and consider what we lose with the disappearing stars. In NIGHTFARING, journalist and dark sky advocate Megan Eaves-Egenes travels around the world to better understand our deep connection to the dark. From New Zealand to Uzbekistan, Italy to Japan, Germany to the Himalaya, she explores the many ways humans have depended on, feared, and mythologized darkness. Blending travel and nature writing with history and self-discovery, Megan writes of how the stars have helped her chart the course of her own life – just as they've guided humankind for as long as we've slept beneath them. Join us for a peculiar night of live chat with Megan about the disappearing dark.Episode was recorded live April 23, 2026.Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://peculiarbookclub.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://subscribepage.io/schillacenews⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠VIP Membership: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://payhip.com/PeculiarBookClub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PeculiarBookClub/streams⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@peculiarbookclub.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/peculiarbooksclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thepeculiarbookclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Summer “Stingers” in the North Georgia Mountains: What's Buzzing Around Your Eaves? By Fred Talley, Faith Pest Control Well, neighbors, summer has officially arrived in Jasper. The sun is out, the lake is calling, and if you're like me, you're spending as much time as possible on the back deck or out in the yard. But there's a downside to this beautiful North Georgia weather: The stingers are out in force. Up here in the mountains—from Talking Rock to Big Canoe—summer is the peak season for things that fly, buzz, and pack a punch. At Faith Pest Control, we're getting the calls every day from folks who walked into a yellow jacket nest or found a “paper lantern” hanging over their front door. Here's the breakdown of who's who in the world of North Georgia stinging insects this summer: The “Ground Troublemakers”: Yellow Jackets If there's one bug that can ruin a backyard BBQ faster than a summer thunderstorm, it's the Yellow Jacket. The Hiding Spot: Unlike honeybees, these guys love to build nests in the ground—often in old rodent burrows or under railroad ties. The Danger: They are notoriously cranky. If you run a lawnmower over their “front door,” they'll come out swinging. And unlike a honeybee, a yellow jacket can sting you multiple times without losing its stinger. The “Eavesdroppers”: Paper Wasps You've seen these nests—they look like an upside-down umbrella with open honeycombs. The Hiding Spot: They love our North Georgia architecture! You'll find them under the eaves of your house, behind shutters, or tucked into the corners of your porch. The Behavior: They aren’t quite as aggressive as yellow jackets, but if you get too close while painting or cleaning your windows, they'll defend their home with a painful sting. The “Gentle Giants”: European Hornets These guys are big—sometimes over an inch long—and they can look pretty scary when they're bumping against your porch light at night. The Hiding Spot: They usually nest in hollow trees, but they aren’t above moving into an attic or a wall void if they find a gap in your siding. The “Attraction”: They are the only wasps in our area that are active at night. If you leave your porch lights on, don’t be surprised to see these big fellas circling the glow. The “Drill Bits”: Carpenter Bees While the males don’t have stingers (they're just “all bark and no bite” hovering in your face), the females do. The Damage: Their real “sting” is to your wallet. They bore perfectly round holes into your cedar siding, decks, and fascia boards. If left alone, they'll turn your beautiful mountain home into a piece of Swiss cheese. Fred's “Stay Safe” Summer Tips Before you grab a can of spray and head out there, keep these things in mind: Watch the Flight Path: Before you start weeding or mowing, stand back and watch your yard for a minute. If you see bugs consistently flying in and out of a hole in the ground or a crack in your siding, you've found a nest. Avoid “The Swat”: If a wasp flies near you, try to stay calm. Swatting at them is interpreted as an attack, and that's when they call for backup. Check the Kids’ Playsets: Check under the slides and inside the “fort” area of backyard playsets once a week. These are favorite hiding spots for wasps. Don’t Block the Exit: If you find wasps entering a hole in your house siding, do not caulk that hole shut while they are inside. They will find a way out—and “out” might mean chewing through your drywall into your living room! We've Got the Gear to Handle It Look, I know a lot of folks like to “DIY” their pest control, but when it comes to stinging insects, it can get dangerous fast—especially if you have an undiscovered allergy. At Faith Pest Control, we have the protective gear and the specialized treatments to knock out these nests safely. We live and work right here in Jasper, and we want to make sure your summer stays fun and sting-free. Give us a shout at Faith Pest Control, and let's keep those “mountain stingers” in the woods where they belong!The post Summer “Stingers” in the North Georgia Mountains: What's Buzzing Around Your Eaves? first appeared on Faith Pest Control.
