MAINE PUBLIC • April 10, 2023
For the first day of spring, we discuss the field of phenology—studying the signs of the seasons. Scientists in Maine analyze how natural phenomena, such as the life cycles of plants and animals, respond to seasonal cues. Learn what to look for in nature this time of year, and how climate change is affecting the timing of natural events. Panelists: Beth Bisson, UMaine coordinator for Signs of the Seasons program; Ellen Denny, USA National Phenology Network; Nat Wheelwright, co-author of The Naturalist’s Notebook and creator of Nature Moments video series; Janet Duffy-Anderson, Gulf of Maine Research Institute; David Lamon, Field’s Pond Audubon Center.
