Industrialized monoculture tends to treat insects as pests to be exterminated. What can we do to make them partners? For starters, listen. In this episode of Grounded Hope we learn about a unique Ohio State University research project that records the daily, seasonal and annual rhythms of farm life.  We go into the woods at the Aullwood Audubon Center in Dayton to listen to the Brood X cicadas and learn how their periodical emergence will benefit the bluebird population and other wildlife this year. We ask people what they think the future will be like 17 years from now when Brood X emerges again in 2038. And we talk with Kat Christen, the Farm Education Manager at Agraria, to find out how the simple act of not mowing your lawn can increase the biodiversity of wildlife, both in your community, and on the planet.
