The Shrek Proposal

0:03 Kalaroka Shock Media. Hello, I'm Jenny Mack with five good news stories. Congrats to Betty. Betty is eighty years old and has become the oldest woman ever to complete the Appalachian Trail. She first dreamed of hiking the trail as a child after reading about it in Weekly Reader. But you know, life a gets in the way and suddenly or eighty. The trail crosses fourteen states from Maine to Georgia and is so demanding most people only hike it in sections. She tried in twenty twenty two, but her hiking partner, Joe, was injured and she herself was forced off the trail due to dehydration, lime disease, and a concussion. Yikes. She tried again in twenty twenty three, but was cut short by another fall. Then she had knee replacement surgery, and sadly Joe passed away. She resolved to finish the trail in his honor. She set out again in twenty twenty four, but there was damage caused by Hurricane Helene that forced hikers to leave parts of the trail, so she gave it another shot in March of twenty twenty five and tackled the remaining northern and southern sections. In September, she completed the trail, breaking the previous age record by six years. Her takeaways keep moving, set big goals, and don't let others define your limits. Great job.

The UK is creating Europe's largest oyster reef, with four million native oysters being restored to the seabed off the coast of Norfolk. By the end of the year, around forty thousand specifically designed clay structures known as mother reefs, will be installed on the seabed in the North Sea.

2:21 Each structure will be seated with about one hundred juvenile oysters. Once mature, the reefs are expected to filter millions of leaders of seawater each day, improving water quality and creating a habitat for a whole range of marine species that's neat. The oyster reefs were almost entirely wiped out over the last century due to overfishing, disease, and pollutions. Scientists say their loss meant the disappearance of entire ecosystems, and restoring them is the key to healthier seas. Good news out of southern New Jersey. We caught your wallaby.
