Google Search Stories: Ypsilanti's SolarYpsi Project
YouTube has a new "Search Stories" feature, and they profile is Dave Strenski of Ypsilanti, who created SolarYpsi in 2005 with the hope of making his hometown a solar power destination through tying solar power generation to the electrical grid. Check out what they've done including a real-time solar power generation map!

February is National Cherry Month!
Did you know that Michigan is the largest producer of Montmorency tart cherries, growing 70-75% of the crop? With February being National Cherry Month, it's only appropriate we celebrate Michigan's almost-official fruit!

Invasive Species in the National Parks
Last year the National Park Service produced a series of short documentaries exploring invasive species in the Great Lakes. The series was funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative showing how invaders are changing the ecosystems in national parks and what’s being done to stop them.
