Title: Episode 86: Climate Change and FSC – Managing for Climate Impacts featuring Christian Messier, Amy Cardinal, and Vivian Peachy Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgaard Description: Climate change is no longer a distant risk for forests — it is already reshaping ecosystems, livelihoods, and forest management decisions across Canada and the world. In this final episode of the Climate Change and FSC mini-series, we turn our attention to managing forests for climate impacts. Host Loa Dalgaard Worm is joined by Christian Messier, Professor of Forest Ecology at UQO and UQAM, Amy Cardinal, Senior Fire Advisor at the Indigenous Leadership Initiative, and Vivian Peachy from FSC Canada. Together, they explore how climate-driven disturbances such as wildfire, insect outbreaks, drought, and flooding are increasing in frequency and intensity, and what this means for biodiversity, carbon storage, forest health, and community safety. The conversation examines how forest management practices may need to evolve in response to these impacts, drawing on ecological science, Indigenous knowledge, and practical experience from the ground. Topics include wildfire as both a natural process and a growing risk, the role of forest diversity and resilience, the difference between carbon storage and carbon sequestration, and the real risk of forests shifting from carbon sinks to net carbon sources under increasing disturbance. The episode also looks at how FSC Canada is working to adapt forest management standards to a changing climate, the challenges of balancing multiple forest values, and how tools such as climate vulnerability assessments, adaptive management, and collaboration across sectors can support climate-resilient forest stewardship. This episode concludes the three-part series developed in collaboration between FSC Canada and FSC Denmark, exploring how climate adaptation, science, and governance can come together to shape the future of responsible forest management.

How much do you hate daggy sheep? Well, what started as a frustration with daggy sheep ended up reshaping this week's guest's entire farming system.This week, Allan Richardson explains how his determination to eliminate daggy sheep ultimately led to three decades of organic farming and the adoption of regenerative principles.He began by wanting to select for low dag score, but a local vet encouraged him to focus instead on worm resistance. Selecting for worm resistance made organic certification achievable. From there, Organic farming opened the door to regenerative principles focused on soil biology and long-term system health.Farming inland from Dunedin in a summer wet climate, Allan shares his wisdom from nearly 40 years of selection for worm resistance, resilience, short tails and longevity.

In this episode of The 10 Ninety Podcast Mason reads a book written by his Mom, KayCee Sawyer. The book was inspired by a chapter in the book "Bearing The Unbearable" written by Joanne Cacciatore. You are not alone. Grief is a journey that we didn't ask for. It is a dark, slow, and deliberate process. This book mirrors the grief journey: some days contracting inward for survival, other days tentatively stretching toward hope, and the hardest motion of all—releasing the story of how life was supposed to go.

Last year at MarsCon I tried something a little different for my concert. Instead of doing my usual set with short bits of stand-up comedy between songs, I tried to make it more like a hip hop concert with minimal talking between songs and my "posse" on stage with me the whole time. My posse consisted of Shoebox of Worm Quartet and Insane Ian. The end result was a lot of fun and I'm hoping to do more shows like this. But since I had Shoebox on stage with me I decided to premiere the latest Stupid Rap Battles. This one features me as a three-legged dog, and Shoebox as a fancy cup of coffee. This was the end result. Chris Mezzolesta was the pre-recorded announcer. This recording is from the 2026 MarsCon Fundraiser Album available now at MarsConComedy.com. Please pick up a copy and help out the comedy-music track. Lyrics, music, vocals: Tom Rockwell, Tim Crist Announcer: Chris Mezzolesta
Title: Episode 85: Climate Change and FSC – What Is a Climate Vulnerability Assessment? Featuring Dr. Sheri Andrews-Key and Kevin Gillis Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgaard Description: Climate change is often described as uncertain and complex, yet forest managers still need to make decisions today. In this second episode of the Climate Change and FSC mini-series, we move from framing the challenge to exploring one of the key practical tools used to support climate adaptation in forestry: climate vulnerability assessments. Host Loa Dalgaard Worm is joined by Dr. Sheri Andrews-Key from the University of British Columbia and Kevin Gillis from Mistik Management Ltd. Together, they unpack what a climate vulnerability assessment is, why it has become an important tool for climate adaptation, and how it can be applied in real-world forest management. Drawing on hands-on experience and a detailed case study from Mistik Management, the conversation explores how vulnerability assessments help identify climate risks such as wildfire, extreme weather, and operational disruption, and how they can be embedded into existing forest management systems, certification requirements, and long-term planning. The episode also looks at how these processes support better decision-making, accountability, and engagement with communities and Indigenous knowledge, while remaining useful in the face of ongoing uncertainty. This episode is part of a three-part series examining how FSC Canada is working to integrate climate adaptation into forest management standards and to develop practical tools that support forest owners and managers in responding to climate change.

A while back, I asked folks to suggest song titles, and I would write something based on the title alone. It was a fun expereiment, and maybe I should revisit it again. That said, it did yield this: one of the dumbest songs I've ever written (and honestly, a favorite of mine and Ben, my producer and co-writer of this melodical malady). This track of course comes from the Marscon 2026 Comedy Music Track Funraiser MP3 Album which you can purchase now to help cover the Hotel Room costs for this year's Comedy Music acts, and features almost 4 hours of live comedy music performances and other miscelaneous banter that more often than not features me, as I also emcee'd the event last year.

Title: Episode 84: Climate change and FSC – Setting the stage, featuring Subhra Bhattacharjee, Director General at FSC International, and Valarie Courtois from the Indigenous Leadership Initiative Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgaard Description: Climate change is already reshaping forest ecosystems around the world, with profound implications for how forests are managed, governed, and protected. In this first episode of the Climate Change and FSC mini-series, we set the stage by zooming out and exploring why climate change matters for forests — and why systems like FSC must adapt in response. Host Loa Dalgaard Worm is joined by Subhra Bhattacharjee, Director General at FSC International, and Valarie Courtois from the Indigenous Leadership Initiative. Together, they unpack how FSC understands climate change as both a mitigation and an adaptation challenge, and why accounting for climate risks is becoming essential for sustainable forest management and for societies more broadly. The conversation explores how climate change is already affecting forests on the ground, from increasing wildfire and insect outbreaks to changes in wildlife behaviour and ecosystem stability. It also examines the difference between climate mitigation and adaptation in a forestry context, the economic and social costs of inaction, and the role of incentives, markets, and certification in supporting climate-resilient forest stewardship. Drawing on Indigenous knowledge systems and global perspectives, this episode highlights why planning for climate change is no longer optional, and how collaboration, leadership, and action across sectors are needed to safeguard forests and the communities that depend on them. This episode opens a three-part series focusing on how climate adaptation is being integrated into forest management standards and on-the-ground practice.
