CFA-On-The-Air: From the Forest
Wednesdays 6PM – 7PM
WIOX ROXBURY 91.3FM or www.wioxradio.org
On tonight’s show, From the Forest will be interviewing veteran maple producer & Catskill Forest Association’s Board President Mike Porter of Margaretville. Mike has been on before several times to talk about maple. However, this time around it’ll be on BIRCH; that’s right, BIRCH SYRUP. Tune in at 91.3 FM or stream online @ www.wioxradio.org to learn more about tapping birch trees for syrup.
WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?
When a short downpour stops, I have learned that two things occur near wooded areas. One, is that mushrooms start popping up from beneath the forest floor & out of rotting wood. Two, is that deer begin to pop out of the woods and into fields, lawns, and roadways. I must have seen over 20 deer crossing the road last night after that rain. They waited out the storm first, and then fed heavily afterwards.
May the forest be with you,
Ryan Trapani
