## Resource

My guests on my next Digging the dirt start with Eric Sepenoski. Eric is a fourth-generation farmer at Seps Farm in East Marion, NY, on Long Island's North Fork. He’s also is an elementary school teacher and serves as an elected Trustee for the Town of Southold—where he focuses on stewarding wetlands and protecting coastal features. Then regular contributor to DITD Gloria Frazee of Rewild Long Island joins me to talk composting on Long Island. Finally, Author Melissa Stewart joins me to talk about her new children's book about the mighty carbon atom. It's called From BAM! to BURP! .
