gardening, the environment, green living and a lot of humor

Arborist Mark Younger from the City of Evanston Forestry Department responds to an inquiry about trees that have been wrapped with decorative lights, and whether or not those lights will compromise the health of the trees. Then Mary DiCarlo from the TREE Fund joins the conversation to talk about an event to support the 2012 STIHL Tour des Trees in Oregon later this summer. Debbie Hillman stops by the studio to talk about her Illinois Food Survey, which will attempt to help her put food issues front and center in the upcoming elections.
