This is continuously updated list of cool nature facts you probably didn’t know, but definitely should!
Challenges can range from small to large, and are encountered in life constantly. They shape who we are, and force us to look at things with a new perspective. We learn from these experiences, and adapt ourselves to better handle similar situations that may be encountered in the future.
There’s no better way to connect with nature than to take part in volunteer work. Most state wildlife conservation agencies, or fish and wildlife agencies are in need of volunteers. Here are links organized by state to help you start your search for information on when and where you can volunteer, or who you can donate to.
Adult trees pass nutrients to seedlings, creating an increased succession rate. Seedlings often do not receive enough light to photosynthesize appropriately to create their own sugar, so they rely on their neighboring trees for nutrients. These nutrients are passed from tree to tree through an underground mycorrhizal network made up of an interconnected web of plant root tips and mycelium (fungal network).
Bioluminescence is the ability to emit light through a chemical process that occurs within an organism. It is arguably one of the most interesting and captivating natural phenomena that exists in nature. It is awe-inspiring, hypnotic, and breathtaking, and it can be observed both in nature, or right at home.
