Reflection QuestionClimate & Ecosystems Learn About Invasive SpeciesWhat is one invasive species in your region and how does it impact your region's ecosystem?
Kayla Lechner 4/12/2022 6:54 AMOne that makes me sad is the European Starling. Over the pandemic, I grew a fondness of watching all of the different birds come to my yard to eat the birdseed. I didn't know that the Starling was so harmful to the farm fields and other birds. I witnessed a Starling attacking a Sparrow's nest so I went over and scared it. I wish there was more that I could do :( -
Reflection QuestionEconomy & Communities Mend ClothingWhat was it like to mend your clothing? If you are skilled at mending, what tips do you have for others?
