Farmers Challenge Climate Change - Farmers and ranchers are among the first to experience climate change. And in Iowa, some are also making every effort to identify it and mitigate it. New generations of agriculture experts are combining nature's gifts of healthy soil and clean water with their ingenuity, to leave their land better than they found it. There are several popular federal programs to help with costs and plans for sustainable upgrades. Vanishing Salton Sea - It used to be a playground for California's rich and famous. But much of the state's largest lake, the Salton Sea, has now dried up and left a toxic mess. The mostly abandoned resort destination has been contaminated by farm runoff and toxic dust, from the lake's brine that's rich with minerals like lithium. The environmental threat is not only to residents, but also to one of the most important wetlands for North American birds. Many efforts have been studied to restore its long-term viability both as an ecosystem and a recreational spot. Forest Habitat For Birds - In Centre County, Pennsylvania, landowners are making changes that could help songbirds with a healthier, more diverse habitat. Birds and other wildlife struggle in many older forests. They thrive in "younger forests," after natural or man-made events, such as fires or logging. We meet some scientists working to restore the sweet sounds so many people enjoy in the woods while birdwatching or hiking.
