On today's show we talk about the importance of leaving your garden alone come the fall. Fall is also a good time to check for Asian Jumping worms. We also discuss the new buzz phrase: forest blocks. What are they and why is it so important to protect them? Finally, we speak with state representative Greg Hill (Merrimack County/Northfield, NH) about an important bill he is trying to pass to protect marine life along the New Hampshire coastline (House Bill 442). Join Catherine Greenleaf, a certified wildlife rehabilitator with 20 years of experience rescuing and rehabilitating injured birds, for twice-monthly discussions about restoring native habitat and helping the birds in your backyard.
