Emily Kwong

Thank you so much for guiding us through this month's hoppy, hippity nature quest, Hannah.

Anytime, Emily.

Shortwavers, if you want to get in on this NatureQuest series, it's so easy.

Look around your environment.

Is anything changing?

Or do you have an environmental question you want us to investigate?

Well, record a memo and email it to us at shortwave at npr.org.

And we may look into it for a future episode.

This episode was produced by Burleigh McCoy with help from Rachel Carlson.

It was edited by Rebecca Ramirez.

Tyler Jones checked the facts.

The audio engineer was Jimmy Keeley.

Sam Polson composed and produced our NatureQuest theme music.
