This week on The Children's Hour we learn about porcupines from the leading researchers in New Mexico, kids in the Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Project. Find out about these elusive giant rodents, their purpose and place in nature, and learn how to spot them in trees.
We also learn about citizen science, which is an essential part of any environmental research project. Citizen science enables anyone, including kids, to be on the research team.
This show is mixed with great music celebrating porcupines.
