Secure bike storage is a critical enabler to ensure more people can use bikes (esp e-bikes) as transportation, including those who may not have a garage or other space to store a bike at their home. I’m excited to see this pilot move forward. m.startribune.com/worried-ab…

Nature can be a little nuts. Our colleagues @esagor & John Loegering weigh in on what's happening with oaks, squirrels and acorns. Good story from @timnelson_mpr. mprnews.org/story/2023/09/20… #UMNProud

Oaks vs. squirrels: A battle is underway in some Minnesota trees, and it’s nuts

You may have noticed some leaves have already been falling around Minnesota — in some cases weeks before the annual autumn color change. That includes oak leaves, and even branches, that are raining...

Because EAB can fly and infest nearby ash trees, avoid removing ash branches, stumps and trees if you can. And just like any other time of year, don't move firewood! Learn more about EAB in Minnesota: extension.umn.edu/tree-and-s…

He was a kind, wonderful guy. His death is a tragedy.

I believe the victim, Michael Brasel, was the head coach for Roseville Area Youth Hockey, and it *looks* like he found a burglar in his car, confronted him and was shot dead. Details still a bit squishy. GoFundMe raised $$$ very fast. He was popular. twincities.com/2023/05/06/st…

OK #coopext folks, how would you advise a new #extension educator to spend $15K in startup funds? Obvs context dependent (and rare, in my experience!), but looking for good ideas. @drdavecoyle @Leslie_Boby @UCsierraforest

Forestry team member Emily shared this backyard breaking bud for the #MMWbudbreak challenge. What a beaut! Any guesses on the species?
