As summer comes into view, it's inevitable that we'll cross paths with a snake. Is it venomous?  Will it hurt you? What are snakes good for anyway?  Join us as we discuss venomous and non-venomous snakes right in the Keystone State.

Sing, Fly - Soar Like a Bird!  That's the slogan for this year's World Migratory Bird Day.  When is it?  How does one celebrate the day? Is there a way to help scientists monitor and track what birds are observed on world migratory bird day?  Join us and find out the answers to all of these questions and more on this week's edition of the Conservation Corner!

Ever wonder about Arbor Day?  Who set aside this day? Why do we celebrate tall plants? What good are trees anyway? Join us as we discuss these topics and more!

For thousands of years, two fish species have been making an extraordinary trip from the Atlantic Ocean to the Susquehanna River where they venture to tributaries and feeder streams throughout the northern tier. Unfortunately, the construction of river dams has limited an important part of both species life cycle.  Join us as we discuss the natural history of the American Shad and the American Eel and find out what progress has been made to re-connect these species to the Upper Susquehanna Watershed. 

With spring in the air (at least some days), we thought we’d discuss a couple of interesting early spring flowers that you might be able to spot on a walk or maybe even while doing some early season yard work right in your own backyard. Join us as we discuss Skunk Cabbage, Yellow Trout Lily, Bloodroot, and Coltsfoot.

The Spotted Lanternfly, a native of Asia, was transported to our country back in 2014. It has since become established within the keystone state and has begun to spread to other states as well. Susquehanna County has been fortunate enough to avoid this invasive species but will likely see the bug spread to the county in the near future. Join us as we discuss the life cycle of the Spotted Lanternfly as well as the potential damage it can inflict on the ag industry as well as in your backyard.
