*Saturday Extra* Utah is home to some of the most diverse native bee populations in the nation with 1,128 recorded in the state. These species pollinate flowers and plants essential to our native ecosystems. But some experts say that native bees are vulnerable, especially in light of a potential plan that would store private honey bees on Utah’s National Forests, including the Manti-La Sals. They say the honey bees will outcompete and displace native bees in their habitat, changing the ecosystem. Today on the extended newscast, we speak with Mary O’Brien, the Utah Forest Program Director for conservation group Grand Canyon Trust. She and Grand County beekeeper Jerry Shue are presenting this complicated bee issue during a public talk next week. [Photo: Western bumblebee, Bombus occidentalis. Courtesy of Grand Canyon Trust]

Artist duo Mary O'Brien & Daniel McCormick use "land as the palette" for the work they do. In this episode, the two explain their efforts to use land art as a restorative medium, bringing much needed life and balance back to struggling ecosystems. As we continue our exploration into "environmental art," O'Brien and McCormick explain why they refer to their work as "restorative art" rather than "eco-art," how they became involved in the land art movement, and who they bring into their artistic efforts to successfully rebuild the habitats they're involved with.-About Watershed Sculpture-The Art Practice of Daniel McCormick & Mary O’BrienDaniel McCormick and Mary O’Brien collaborate on ecological art installations that have remedial qualities. Working in both urban and agricultural watersheds and riparian corridors, McCormick and O’Brien respond to environmental issues by moving away from an anthropocentric view of nature to create sculptures that work with natural systems. Their work is often ephemeral and temporal. When their interventions are completed and a restoration cycle is established, they intend to leave no evidence of a hand made object. For over 25 years, they have been using art to restore and affect a positive ecological balance in damaged environments.McCormick & O’Brien both hold degrees from University of California, Berkeley. Daniel McCormick's experience as a multi-disciplinary artist in the fields of sculptural installation and environmental design brings both a public art and ecological trajectory to their work. Mary O'Brien is a sculptor and writer and initiates the community engagement plans enlisting the support of art organizations and government agencies.Their collaborations reflect the artists’ concerns for the environment and community, but also their belief that art has a responsibility to do more than witness or document cultural changes. Their installation works can be found in watersheds across the United States.

It's that time of year already where farmers are getting out their spray rigs and dealing with in-crop weeds. While it is a busy time of year, it's essential to ensure you're across good spraying technique to ensure spray drift does not occur. Spray drift expert Mary O’Brien explains wind inversions and provides tips for avoiding spray drift. You can follow Mary on Twitter at @spraydriftgirl Autonomous farm machinery is the topic of the moment. The possibilities to do seem endless, but how far away are some of these machines away from hitting Australian shores? Cory Beaujot from DOT Tech Corp says it might be sooner than you think. He gives us a detailed insight into this family business making autonomous farm machinery out of Saskatchewan in Canada. Some of the benefits the company says you’ll see with using their Dot Power Platform (which can be used as a seeding rig and more) are a reduction in costs for fuel, labour and equipment.

  MOTHERHOOD AND MOTHERING: THE FUN STUFF Humorist Erma Bombeck said, “When humor goes, there goes civilization.”  That applies to motherhood as well.  We all know the pain, the mess, the disappointment, the self-sacrifice, that motherhood brings. But it also brings amazing joy, huge rewards, and a lot of laughter (some of which isn’t revealed until much later).  So let’s talk mothering and being mothered – and focus on the fun bits in honor of Mothers Day! Deanna Sundvick-Egge is the mother of three, grandmother to a changing number, and says she has a resume somewhere but she really hasn’t seen it since the 90’s. Mary O’Brien, PhD, is the mother of two teenagerish girls and learned that all her education and credentials don’t give her any special status or capabilities when it comes to the world’s oldest profession (we’re talking motherhood, not that other one).  Rebecca Luncan is an artist and brand new mother, and she promises to join us between feeding, rocking, changing, and playing with her newborn, IF she can stay awake long enough.  Join us as we celebrate Mother’s Day and talk about the fun stuff that keeps us all in the game.

Mary O'Brien's come a long way in conservation, and she now finds herself as a lone voice for aspen, beaver, and soil crusts in Southern Utah, but has struggled to effect actual change. Through collaboration and the threat of legal action, she's found fun and function in the bureaucracy that most consider boring.
