Oswego, NY – This is an archived version of Nature of Things originally aired on September 22nd, 1989.

The appearance of a fall field is described in poetic, yet scientific, detail. The royal purple and golden yellow coloring of flowers and plants are highlighted. Capabilities of the field are also discussed- from the household bouquet to the agricultural significance of the land.

WRVO is at a critical moment.
