How seeds from the past are saving a unique flower of the Great Lakes

How seeds from the past are saving a unique flower of the Great Lakes
Great Lakes Echo

By Kyrmyzy Turebayeva

More than 30 years ago, a group of scientists planted just 4,200 seeds of the rare Pitcher’s thistle in the sandy dunes of the Great Lakes. At the time, no one knew if the new populations would survive. Today, three decades later, the restored populations are thriving and spreading.

Vacant lots boost diversity among Detroit’s birds, study finds

Vacant lots boost diversity among Detroit’s birds, study finds
Great Lakes Echo

By Eric Freedman

Empty lots in deindustrialized cities like Detroit may contribute to bird species diversity, says a new study by researchers at MSU and Carleton University in Canada. The study is based on sound recordings collected at 110 sites in 11 Detroit neighborhoods. The study recommends that vacant land management in the city takes a balanced approach that considers the needs of both residents and birds. There are other concerns about vacant land, too, including as sites for solar arrays.
