About "The Nature Notebook"

"The Nature Notebook," a weekly radio feature delivered by PPL senior naturalist Jon Beam, is broadcast on Sundays at 4:57 p.m. on the National Public Radio affiliate serving northeastern and central Pennsylvania.

A joint venture between PPL and WVIA-FM, "The Nature Notebook" is an extension of PPL's long-standing environmental education efforts at its environmental preserves. The weekly series examines both subtle and obvious changes that occur in nature throughout the year.
