We know that green spaces are good for you. They provide benefits to air quality, biodiversity, and even your mental health... but why?Returning guest Joeri Morpurgo, a postdoctoral fellow at Universiteit Leiden in the Netherlands, set out with his team to answer this question. They found an important distinction: not all green spaces are created equal.The team also investigated the various benefits of green space, and found natural variables to attribute them to: lower air temperatures were directly related to tree heights, soil quality promotes water storage, and so on. Every green space has unique characteristics that give it unique, nuanced benefits. In this episode, Joeri joins hosts Alysha and Todd to talk about why distinction between outdoor spaces is so important.Joeri's Haiku: Lush green fill the streetsYet life and function divergeFeatures shape what they giveLinks:Joeri's Bio: https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/staffmembers/joeri-morpurgo#tab-1 Joeri's Publications: https://scholar.google.nl/citations?user=PHxx0pIAAAAJ&hl=nl

At the same time, Disney's Hollywood Studios has opened two theatrical shows within its studio gates. In a showdown, we'll look at Le Cirque Arcanus in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter--Ministry of Magic as well as The Untrainable Dragon from the Isle of Berk--both premiering at Epic Universe. We'll also take a look at two new shows that just premiered at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After and The Little Mermaid Musical Adventure. From queue to finale, from performers to technical staging, we'll look at which of these fare best and are worth your time. The competition is tough, so join us as we look at these four new theatrical shows in two very unique Florida theme parks. ____________________________________________________________________ More Disney Insights can be found below!

Wisconsin's largest cities are getting national recognition for their parks systems.
Urban areas can have a variety of green spaces: gardens, parks, and roadside and median plantings. It turns out that these spaces can serve as pollinator refuges.

Season 5 Finale: Magical Views, Park Nostalgia & A Legendary Guest Appearance
Fire Tested James 1 Era Essential Church May 25, 2025 SUMMARY The message begins with introductions by Chris Traeger and Ben, followed by Leslie Knope offering a tour of the Parks and Recreation Department. Chris Traeger is highlighted for his optimistic outlook, even in hypothetical scenarios like a fictional virus. The narrative shifts to a church service where the pastor discusses the importance of optimism, particularly in youth ministry, and introduces the theme of the James 1 era, which emphasizes finding joy in trials. The pastor elaborates on the concept of trials as preparation rather than punishment, drawing from personal experiences and the teachings of James 1. The message underscores the significance of perseverance in developing faith and maturity. An illustration using Play-Doh is employed to demonstrate the idea of being moldable and the impact of trials on personal growth. The analogy of pottery needing fire to become strong is used to convey how God reshapes and strengthens individuals through trials. The message concludes with a reminder that we are designed to be strong and carry valuable things, followed by a closing prayer seeking strength and guidance from God. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. **Optimism and Positivity:** - How does Chris Traeger's optimistic outlook influence those around him? Can excessive optimism ever be counterproductive? 2. **Trials and Preparation:** - The Project discusses trials as preparation rather than punishment. How can this perspective change the way we approach challenges in our lives? 3. **Faith and Perseverance:** - How does the concept of perseverance in faith, as discussed in James 1, apply to modern-day challenges? Can you share a personal experience where perseverance led to growth? 4. **Youth Ministry and Influence:** - What role does optimism play in youth ministry, and how can it impact young people's development? 5. **Analogy of Pottery:** - The Project uses the analogy of pottery needing fire to become strong. How can this analogy be applied to personal growth and overcoming adversity? 6. **Community and Support:** - How important is community in helping individuals navigate through trials? Can you think of a time when community support made a difference in your life? 7. **Reframing Challenges:** - How can reframing challenges as opportunities for growth change our approach to difficult situations? 8. **Role of Faith in Adversity:** - How does faith influence the way we handle adversity? Are there specific teachings or beliefs that help you during tough times?

Rigger received emails from a whole lot of you wanting more information about the new Mule Deer Management Plan that Brian and his staff are working on right now. Mule Deer are a VERY popular species to hunt here in Montana and a great deal of hunters and outdoor folks in general have been concerned about the decline in Mule Deer populations in many hunting districts across the state. Thus, one of the main reasons for the FWP developing a new management plan. So, what is a management plan anyway? Who decides what goes into the plan?

In this episode of Waypoints, we return to the heart of one of the most important — and complex — conservation stories in the world of flyfishing: the state of Montana's Big Hole and the rivers of southwest Montana. Nearly two years after the New York Times released an article focusing on declining fish populations throughout the region, recent data from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks suggests that there may be signs of hope and recovery for wild trout. But with mixed messages, differing perspectives, and strong emotions still swirling throughout the guide, outfitting, and recreational angling communities, the real story is far from simple. Joined by Jim Olsen – Fisheries Biologist for Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks in the Big Hole River basin – and by Eric Thorson – co-owner of Sunrise Fly Shop in Melrose, Montana – host Jim Klug digs into the facts, revisits the concerns, and examines what's really going on beneath the surface of these legendary waters.Why should this topic matter to anglers from outside of Montana and across the country? Because what happens in the Big Hole doesn't stay in the Big Hole. These rivers are ground zero for a larger conversation about climate change, water use, fishing pressure, wild trout resilience, and the future of angling in the American West. Whether you've fished these waters for decades, or plan to someday cast a line in Montana, this episode offers critical insight into how science, community, and conservation are colliding in real time — and what that means for the future of wild trout.Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild.
