The weather at Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (Crystal Wind Chime) is the same as the northern USA temperatures.:

That is a hot temperature map.  In North Carolina where the temperatures remain in the 70s and 80s, the leaves are starting to change to their autumn colors.  My question is why?  The first day of Autumn is September 23rd.  It is getting more and more strange every year.  The autumn colors are obviously not triggered by temperature so much as having delivered fruit.

Wow.

Alaska conservation foundation donates $4.1 million  (click title to entry - thank you)

by Staff Report

FAIRBANKS - The Alaska Conservation Foundation awarded $4.1 million worth of grants in the 2010 fiscal year ending on June 30, the organization announced in a press release.

ACF awarded 159 grants to 62 groups across the state. The organization said funds went toward bills that expand renewable energy and a court fight to assert public notice is required when the state issues mine exploration permits. It also co-sponsored a week-long Environmental Leadership Institute with 30 conservation leaders.

ACF is an Anchorage-based public foundation established in 1980 to connect philanthropists and foundations to Alaska’s grassroots conservation organizations.
