National parks across the country are experiencing warmer temperatures; Denali and other Alaska parks have faced warming at double the average U.S. rate. Denali National Park and Preserve will continue to serve as a living laboratory so we can understand how warming temperatures impact park resources (like glaciers) and to show how our decisions affect the environment as each of us decides whether or not to . Read more about Alaska climate impacts in the National Climate Assessment: http://nca2014.globalchange.gov/highlights/regions/alaska.

We celebrated the first day of summer with a fun walking tour of Community & School Gardens in Burlington's Old North End. Folks from around the country - and world - visited the Archibald and Riverside neighborhood gardens, the Myrtle Street Avant Garden and the gardens at The Integrated Arts Academy at H.O. Wheeler and Sustainability Academy at Lawrence Barnes Elementary. The tour was part of the joint 2014 conference of the Association for the Study of Food and Society and the Agriculture, Food and Human Values Society held at UVM. Big thanks to all the participants and the inspiring garden leaders at each site for making it such a great day.
