BC's Only Solar Egg Farm

In this episode we sit down with Lee Walston, landscape ecologist and environmental scientist from the Argonne National Laboratory, and discuss the transformative effects of solar energy facilities on local ecosystems. Lee shares insights from a groundbreaking 5-year field study examining vegetation establishment and insect community responses in newly established solar farm habitats.

Throughout the study, Lee and his team observed remarkable increases in habitat and biodiversity metrics, with flourishing vegetation and thriving insect populations. From enhanced pollination services to natural pest control, the synergies between solar energy and ecosystem restoration offer promising solutions for sustainable land use practices.
