June 24, 2010 Pete, our arctic expert
Pete Kershaw
Pete is our ChurchillArctic expert. He has led over 30 volunteer teams over the many years he has been studying the northern Canada region. He give us our daily marching orders, where, when, and how to do our research, points out local wildlife, and tells us interesting stories. He knows more stuff about plants, geology, and climate than I have ever heard of! Plus he is a nice guy.

One amazing thing I learned is that the growing season for these tress is sooo short (5-7 weeks) between freezing temps. A tree that is only three inches tall may be five years old, and that a tree 20 feet tall is probably well over 100 years old. Very different from So Cal!
