Ep. 285 : Migration of Vegetation Post Glaciation in Southern Ontario

I have been out with my students a lot and it seems that every time we go out we are looking to the trees and shrubs that are growing in disturbed areas and likening these disrupted habitats to post glacial landscapes.
For this show I share some of what I am learning about the migration of trees and different flora through southern Ontario after the glaciers receded. On top of this, I wanted to note how these development sites also hold hope, setting examples for wild rejuvenation through novel ecosystems in the face of uncertain futures.
