In coordination with the Nature/PBS series “American Spring LIVE” (airing April 29, 30 and May 1) and Maine Public's tie-in event at the Gisland Farm Audubon Center on April 27, our Maine Calling will highlight nature appreciation, phenology, science education and citizen science, and we’ll ask callers to share what signs of spring they look for in their part of the state and how they are getting involved with their natural surroundings.
