33. Digging Into Environmental Justice | A Conversation with Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s President Matt Rader Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s episode, we speak with Matt Rader, the President of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. We dig deep into environmental justice and what it means for people to have access to green spaces and the many positive effects it has not only on the aesthetic of a city but the many mental, physical, social, and overall health benefits. We’ve been wanting to cover this for a long time and Matt beautifully walks us through what environmental justice is, how it affects all of us, and the many models and programs PHS has put into effect to give Philadelphia access, experience, and a deeper and healthier connection to nature.

We are so grateful to PHS and Matt Rader for his time, heart, and absolute dedication to getting Philly more access, agency, and connection to all things green.

Lots of Love.

32. Mist, Magic, & Mood | A Conversation with Wildlife Photographer Meaghan Garrahan Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s episode, we speak with wildlife photographer Meaghan Garrahan. Meaghan talks to us about why she got into wildlife photography, what it means to her, and what she hopes to offer not only us but the world she captures. Two things stand out about Meaghan’s work. One is the detail, intensity, and mood that her images hold, and two, the fact that this is a relatively recent focus for her. One of her most powerful images is that of a keen-eyed golden eagle, quiet and powerful, emerging in flight from a cloud of mist. Within this image holds a similar energy Meaghan carries through her lens. Find her Instagram account @meagahan and look out for her image of the little fox, watching the sunset on the beautiful sandy dunes of Cape Cod. You’ll get what I mean. Lots of Love

31. The Wolf Interpreter | A Conversation with Wolf Researcher and Author Rick McIntyre Jun 06, 2023

Show notes

In this week’s episode, we speak with wolf researcher, interpreter, and award-winning author, Rick McIntyre. Wolves are one of our favorite beings to talk about and to be able to speak with Rick about them is an honor and an absolute joy.

In 1996, wolves were relocated from Canada to Yellowstone National Park and thus began the Wolf Reintroduction Project. What would follow would not only greatly impact the park and wolf conservation, but the incredible story of these wolves would travel across the world, enamoring hundreds of thousands of travelers to Yellowstone, and changing the way we see wolves and their families forever.

Rick captures the trials and tribulations of pack life, doggedly documenting the growing packs in a detailed account while witnessing them for years upon years, which ultimately resulted in the book series Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone.

It is because of the extraordinary work he did with the Wolf Project that he became known as “The Wolf Interpreter.”

Thanks so much for listening and sharing. Lots of Love.

30. ANTS: Going Underground | A Conversation with Entomologist Dr. Andy Suarez from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign May 23, 2023

Show notes

In this week's episode, we speak with Dr. Andy Suarez, head of the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on all things ants. Although we didn't get a chance to cover all 15,000 different species of ants, Dr. Suarez takes us underground into the life of ants, how they operate, and what an absolutely critical part they play in all our ecosystems. Dr. Suarez highlights not only how critical they are to the health of our planet, but also what the study of ants' biology and behavior are contributing to us humans. It's truly the tiny ones that we take the most for granted that make the world go round. That is if you believe a two-inch ant that looks like it's a dinosaur ant is tiny!

29. An Arctic Update | Check-In with Dr. Kate Stafford of the Marine Mammal Institute at Oregon State University May 09, 2023

Show notes

In this week's episode, we are checking in with Dr. Kate Stafford about the state of the Arctic. Dr. Stafford talks about her latest trip back and what's been going on with the Bowhead whale in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, north and northwest of Alaska. Dr. Stafford talks about the rapid pace of the melting ice, and the impact this is making not only to the sweet Bowhead whale but to the Inupiaq people of Alaska. It's a chilling recounting of what she is seeing out on the melting ice. We are left with more questions than answers but one thing we know, the Bowhead whales are in trouble. We last spoke with Dr. Stafford in our previous episode #11 called The Song Birds of the Ocean. Please listen to that conversation if you haven't already. Lots of Love.

28. Wild Horses | A Conversation with Tracy Wilson, Nevada State Director for American Wild Horse Campaign Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

In this week's conversation, we speak with Tracy Wilson, the Nevada State Director for American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) on a critical subject we knew little to nothing about the wild Mustangs and Burros of the West and North Western United States. She walks us through their challenges, the critical edge they live on, and why we must save this iconic historical animal. AWHC believes "There Is A Better Way" to work with supporting and managing these beautiful and powerful animals through programs like their fertility control, or PZP (Porcine Zona Pellucida) the largest program of its kind in the world today. However, brutal and inhumane management via roundups by helicopter still remains the method of corralling the horses and burros, creating chaos, injury, extreme stress, and death. We also believe there is a better way. And we find out what that is, and what we owe these animals that long to live wild and free on our American landscape.

UPDATE: Checking In with Shawn Heinrichs, Conservationist, Co-Founder of OnlyOne, and Emmy Award-winning Cinematographer. Apr 14, 2023

Show notes

We’ve asked Shawn Heinrichs to drop in and walk us through what has happened at a few of the big conventions, like COP 15, COP 27, and CITES, as far as what concrete action has been implemented in support of slowing climate change and specifically in context to protecting the high seas and marine wildlife. He gives us the reality check we all need, and more importantly how our oceans and the beings that live in them are desperately trying to survive in a brutal climate of indiscriminate fishing and our human “out of sight, out of mind” perspective.

27. The Power of Fire | A Conversation with Tony Incashola Jr. and Stephanie Gillin from the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

In this week's conversation, we speak with Tony Incashola Jr., forest manager for CSKT (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes), and Stephanie Gillin, information and education program manager and former wildlife biologist for the CSKT at the Flathead Indian Reservation.

Tony and Stephanie walk us through the history of fire and what it means to their tribes and how the criminalization of their fire practices not only impacted the health of the landscape but significantly changed how fire affects the land, ecosystems, and people of Montana and the general western part of the United States.
