A disturbing sight is growing in southern New Jersey's woodlands.
Acres of "ghost forests" have been popping up as an increase of saltwater in the soil has been killing what remains of the Atlantic white cedar trees that populate the area. trib.al/ksEg2oU

It's incredible seeing the transition from degraded, single-thread streams into expansive beaver-engineered wetlands. And it only took a handful of #beavers to do this. Imagine what the continent and the rivers looked like prior to the Fur Trade, back when beavers were abundant!
Found this an interesting read. Hopefully her whole thread is accessible in my retweet.
Also curious if this applies in middle/high school settings. Do some not stress and just learn to expect accommodation? If so, are we teaching a wrong life lesson?
Alot here to ponder.
I've been seeing some posts from well-intentioned faculty about eliminating all deadlines in their classes. I study #ExecutiveFunction, #stress and #mentalhealth in college #students, and I'm here to tell you this will hurt the students you are trying to help. . . 1/buckle up
