We care deeply about the natural world around us here at KAXE-KBXE. Each week our resident phenologist John Latimer's Phenology Report provides a comprehensive look at what's happening in nature here in northern Minnesota. Continued development of the paper birch, trembling aspen and black ash as well as ant activity, wildflowers beginning to grow and even a report on sturgeon spawning are all included in this week's report.
