Nature Corner/Storybook Room - Sea Cucumber

  Nature Corner/Storybook Room for Saturday morning 5/2/26

Cliff the sea cucumber visits with Uncle Bob Devine this morning. Cliff is an animal, not a vegetable. Many sea cucumbers are long and sausage-shaped. Others are round and look like apples.  They vary in size from 3 inches long to over a foot long. There are even a few that are only an eighth of an inch long. Over fifteen hundred kinds of sea cucumbers have been discovered.

Sea cucumbers serve a very needed function. They eat all of the plant and animal matter that settles to the ocean bottom. Bacteria eat what is left from the cucumbers' meals. That keeps the ocean bottom clean and safe from diseases. 

Now let Cliff and Uncle Bob tell you more about sea cucumbers!

RB107 Petticoat Rangers

  Our RANGER BILL for late Saturday morning, 5/2/2026, is a classic:

RB107 Petticoat Rangers

Bill doesn't have enough men for all the work around the national forest. He and his rangers have to work 18 hours a day. Bill has a solution to the problem - women volunteers in the fire towers. The rangers refuse to allow women rangers. Will the rangers work themselves to death or will they give Bill's PETTICOAT RANGERS a chance? Can female rangers do a ranger's work if they get that chance? In my opinion, this is one of the funniest Ranger Bill stories ever! You get to hear some of Stumpy's funniest and most famous lines! And you get to see a little of what life was like back in the 1950's.

RB205 The Swinging Tower of Eagles Rest

  Our Ranger Bill story for Tuesday, 2/28/2026, is:

RB205 The Swinging Tower of Eagles Rest

Fire tower 10 is one of the highest in the national forest with breathtaking views and a reputation for swaying in the high winds there. Folks from all around the Knotty Pine area like to visit tower 10 and its rangers, Tom and Joe, and to see Eagles' Rest. Young Ken Winthrop has just hiked out to Eagles' Rest when a severe snowstorm hits. Ranger Tom slips and breaks his leg, the phone line breaks, and their radio link to headquarters goes down when the antenna blows away. A severely injured ranger and no contact with the outside world - can anything else go wrong?

Enjoy this exciting adventure!!!

RB206 The Hot Million

 RANGER BILL for  Arpil 29, 2026, is:

RB206 The Hot Million

It's hot and dry in the forest as Bill and Stumpy inspect the trees and fire lanes around Big Gap. The fellas also inspect the high-tension power lines that run through the gap. A million volts of electricity pass up and down those lines. The boys find a weak line that is about to break. The sparks from a broken power line could start a raging treetop fire. There is a power company repair crew working not too far away. The boys find the crew and ask the foreman Burt Engals to take his crew and fix the badly stressed line, but Burt refuses. What can the boys do now to protect the forest from this high-powered danger?
