This episode covers a lot of ground!Beth Huning received a 2011 Philip Hyde Conservation Grant from the NANPA Foundation, served on NANPA's Environment Committee and as NANPA's Membership Chair and has been deeply involved with NANPA for years prior to becoming president earlier this year. She came to the role with 17 years' experience working with the Fish & Wildlife Service and managing conservation projects in and around the San Francisco Bay area, including the San Francisco Bay Joint Venture. There she dealt with the conflicts between conservation and protection versus recreation and economic development. In order to get all the different agencies and organizations working together for a common goal, you have to “manage ecosystems and ego systems,” Huning says.Discussed in the show:Philip Hyde Conservation Grant https://nanpafoundation.org/philip-hyde-conservation-grant/Janie Moore Greene Scholarship Grant: https://nanpafoundation.org/janie-moore-greene-scholarship-grant/San Francisco Bay Joint Venture https://sfbayjv.org

Colleen Miniuk didn't follow a traditional path to photography (if there really is one). As a child, she developed a fear of water when she couldn't see the bottom or her feet and she didn't sleep outside in a tent until her early twenties.
