Been recommending this podcast to everyone!

I have been listening to this series as I drive over to volunteer at Elkhorn Slough off of Monterey Bay. Michelle’s research and interviews both inform and inspire, and I often find myself inserting tidbits I learn into my conversations with visitors, staff and other volunteers in the area. I can’t count the number of times I’ve said, “Oh, you’d like this most recent episode!” to someone who shares an interest in the wonders of California’s ecology in all its many forms.

I particularly appreciate how Michelle brings attention to both the micro and the macro, past and present, inner city and distant mountains. She speaks directly to the climate challenges while highlighting the positive steps people and organizations are doing to honor and protect our state’s creatures, lands and waterways. Listeners are bound to come away feeling ready to learn more and get involved.
