Green Street with Patti & Doug Wood

Pollinators in Peril – with Dr. Tara Cornelisse

This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug discuss the EPA’s plan to ease scheduled restrictions on certain types of asbestos, and the failure of the New York Assembly to pass any of the strong environmental protection bills which had broad public and legislative support. Then entomologist Dr. Tara Cornelisse, Lead Zoologist of NatureServe, joins the conversation to talk about the plight of our pollinator population, and what we need to do to protect this critical part of our interdependent natural world.
