“Seasons of Change on Henry’s Farm” filmmaker Ines Sommer and producer Terra Brockman talk about farming in the age of climate change and global pandemic. Petra Page-Mann, co-founder of Fruition Seeds, offers advice for mid-summer planting in Zones 4-6 (yes, that’s us in Chicago). Filmmaker Bob Dolgan and conservation ecologist Douglas Stotz from the Field Museam reflect on a summer without people at the lakefront, which might have made the return of a pair of piping plover much easier in 2020.
