Just what I’ve been looking for!
Michelle, you’ve really done it. Wow! Wow! Wow! What a spectacular job you’ve done writing, producing, editing and promoting this incredibly well done and informative show! As someone that has gone through the California State Naturalist program myself, I understand and feel your excitement about the beauty and wonder of the amazing state we live in. The task you’ve undertaken is immense and very much appreciated. I love your genuine enthusiasm, honesty and ability to inform while not overwhelming. I hope to be your student forever and will share this treasure with many others! Kudos!!

Love this podcast already!
Wow!! I just heard your oak episode! So interesting and accessible for science knuckleheads like me. I wish all Californians would listen to this podcast to learn about the real natural California. Thanks so much!!

As a former naturalist in CA, I love that this podcast exists! Michelle does a great job of finding interesting topics, while adding humor and fun to the mix. I also appreciate how she breaks up the episodes with her editorials along the way. Thanks Michelle!

Can’t wait for more!
Just started listening and I’m already a fan. Format is easy going and it’s informative about local happenings. Just listened the the Salmon episode and learned a few things. 😍

SO Good!
One day I was sitting pondering all the amazing naturalists I know in the Sacramento area and thinking, “wouldn’t it be great if they were all featured in one place so more folks could share in their collective adventures and wisdom”, And POOF three days later, Michelle announced this podcast. Magic! AND the episodes are great. Michelle has fantastic interpretation skills herself and expands on ideas, gives extra info and resources in all the right places. I can’t wait to hear more from all around the state. Thank you for this wonderful podcast—it’s Golden ;)!!!
