EcoReport - February 25, 2010

Blooomington already has a thriving community market and community gardens, so why not a community orchard? Bloomington native Amy Countryman is a single mom and a student at Indiana University’s School of Public And Environmental Affairs. She’s working with the city parks and rec department and urban forester Lee Huss to launch a public orchard, planted, maintained and harvested by the people of Bloomington. EcoReport is a weekly program providing independent media coverage of environmental and ecological issues with a focus on local, state and regional people, issues, and events in order to foster open discussion of human relationships with nature and the Earth and to encourage you to take personal responsibility for the world in which we live. Each program features timely eco-related headline news, a feature interview or event recording, and a calendar of events of interest to the environmentally conscious.
