As of Spring 2023, the UW Radicle is no longer running!
It’s been an immense honour and joy to have run this publication for a few years. The Radicle began as a grassroots initiative by a couple of Environment students in Fall 2019 and grew into a fully fledged digital publication.
We were just getting our footing when UW shut down during the pandemic. However, we found a niche for community and connection that we filled through crowd-sourced digital content. We’ve published articles, interviews, comics, poetry, photography, and everything in between. What remained constant was our commitment to showcasing the diverse perspectives of the Environment community. I’m proud to say that we started and ended as an entirely student-led project.
However, due to waning engagment, we’ve decided that our efforts will be better spent elsewhere. While this website and our Instagram will remain up, we’re ending the publication for good.
We thank everyone who has contributed to, edited, read, or supported the Radicle throughout the years: we truly couldn’t have done this without you.
All the best!

Tuning In To BirdTV: Being a friend to birds and squirrels
By: Bethany Helaine Pöltl Every morning in the winter at my house, we replenish the bird seed outside and leave the porch curtains open slightly, setting up what my mom and I call “BirdTV” for our cat, BB. She sits behind the window all morning as birds come and go, stopping in for a snack…
