Conservation Corner

You're out in the woods. You're waiting for a deer (if you're a deer hunter). And you notice a shelf-looking thing. What is it? Turns out, it's a fungus that might tickle your art fancy. Join us as we discuss a bracket fungi called the "artist conk".

Is it a fly? Is it a tick? Does it carry diseases and bite like those two insects? Join us as we take a closer look at an insect called the Deer Ked. If you're a hunter, a hiker, or enjoy spending time outside, don't miss this episode!

Have you ever gotten so busy that you take the natural world around you for granted? Today we're covering a phenomenon that we would probably like to overlook because seeing them means, less sunshine and less vitamin D. But what are clouds anyway? And just how many types of clouds are there? Join us as we discuss clouds and their importance on our planet.

You're driving down the road and you notice a deer with abnormal white patches on its coat... What's up with that? Join us as we discuss piebaldism - an interesting gene mutation found across many populations of organisms around the world.

We had them. We got rid of them. Then we brought them back (from a distant land). Join us as we dive into the history of the Keystone State's Elk herd. Of course, there will be #funfacts!

Occasionally, we interview SCCD staff to learn more about the person behind the title. Today is Jason's turn! Join us as we learn more about Jason (and find out just how many tractors he really has 🤣).

The Joro spider is making headlines nationwide and sending chills down those with arachniphobia. But should we be scared? Join us as we discuss the invasive, Joro spider.

Social media and the news have talked a lot about the northern lights... What's going on with all of this activity? Join us as we discuss this phenomenon and discover upcoming viewing opportunities in your backyard.

Where else can you get a dose of environmental news stories in less than fifteen minutes? From the protection of mountains on the Appalachian chain to a story about invasive goldfish nearly escaping to nearby Lake George.
