Bugging Out: An Appreciation Of Insects

Wed 6/12/13 Noon and 7PM:  The cicadas a few hundred miles south of here have gotten a lot attention this spring, but on the next Vermont Edition, we show some love to the bugs and insect that are crawling, flying and skittering around in our region.  Our guests are naturalist Bryan Pfeiffer and Kent McFarland, a conservation biologist and co-founder of the Vermont Center for Ecostudies.

Post your questions and photos of amazing insects to Vermont Edition’s Facebook page.

Also in the program,  it can be easy to take for granted the wealth of opportunities we have to eat locally grown and produced foods in Vermont. For guidance on what to do with all that fresh food we turn to Tracey Medeiros, author of  “The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook.”

Patti is an integral part of VPR's news effort and part of the team that created Vermont Edition.
