How can looking at the past help us understand what to do about a current crisis? “I'm a firm believer that history can help give us perspective here,” says science writer Lisa S. Gardiner. She's speaking about her research with coral reefs, but it's an apropos metaphor for how our past experiences with creative endeavors can help inform our current struggles. In this episode, we talk about the importance of the book proposal (and tips for getting one done), the art of weaving the self into a story that's not memoir, and how essential our curiosity is to, well, everything.Lisa S. Gardiner is a freelance writer, geoscientist, and educator. She is the author of Reefs of Time: What Fossils Reveal about Coral Survival and Tales from an Uncertain World: What Other Assorted Disasters Can Teach Us About Climate Change. Her writing has appeared in Nautilus Magazine, Scientific American, bioGraphic, and Audubon, among other places. This is a public episode.

Thursday, June 12 is scheduled to be the last day for the New York Senate to be in session for 2025. Supporters of the New York For All Act made a final push for the bill to be passed by blockading two of the entrances to the New York State Senate. Five people were eventually arrested and charged with misdemeanors, which is a higher charge than protesters at the Capitol normally face. The New York For All Act would prohibit state and local government agencies, including law enforcement, from collaborating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and sharing sensitive personal information. The act ensures that all New Yorkers, regardless of immigration status, can access public services and engage in community life without fear of deportation. We have from four of the people who were arrested Kay O'Keefe, Rachel Combelic, Guillermo Maciel, and Sam Romero, followed by Jose Pineda of After Incarceration. Supporters of the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act were also at the Capitol, so our last speaker is Jennifer Vogt of Long Island of Audubon.

The fifth annual BLACK BELT BIRDING FESTIVAL will take place on Aug. 1, 2 and 3. Highlighting the birds, history, and heritage of Alabama's Black Belt region, the festival brings together the joy of birding with the benefits of ecotourism to a region of profoundly important ecology and civil rights history. “We are super excited about this year's festival given that participation has surged over the past two years. Nowhere else can you see Wood Storks, Scissor-tailed Flycatchers, and Swallow-tailed Kites against a backdrop of bountiful grasslands and epic civil rights history.”— Dr. Scot Duncan, Executive director of Alabama Audubon...Article Link

The temporary closure of The Dirty Bird restaurant — which has struggled to obtain a liquor license — tops this week's Access Louisville podcast.The Audubon neighborhood restaurant has garnered attention in part because of the suggestive names on its menu — the appetizers are referred to as "foreplay" and the fish sandwich is called "the hooker," for instance.Fred Pizzonia, the property owner and manager of The Dirty Bird, told LBF Restaurant Reporter Michael L. Jones that a state ABC representative has complained about the names and he believes it to be a factor in the liquor license issue. We discuss that with Jones on this week's episode. Jones also tells us about a new restaurant in New Albany with a well known local name — Falls City Kitchen. It's owned by Neace Ventures, the same company that owns Falls City Beer and a few other local food and beverage brands. We also hear from Reporter Stephen P. Schmidt about the latest with this year's Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown, Kentucky. The festival is adding new experiences, as it takes inspiration from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas as well as the PGA Championship and the Kentucky Derby. Full details on that here.We also hear from our sponsors at Baird this week. LBF President and Publisher Lisa Benson is on the show with an interview with Mark Nickel, who is president and chief investment officer at Baird Trust to talk about numerous topics, including what's known as "The Great Wealth Transfer." Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. It's available on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Episode 130: Baked BodegaWhat's really Good Famiglia?! I'm writing this fresh off Hashhole Island and I think I'm still stoned… lol… Good times, good vibes, and Good PizzZa! Shout out to everyone that came by the booth and supported us. Much love Homies! Also, shout out to MJ for rolling us a fat Sicilian Slice Doink! That thing was a beast! This week, we have a very special guest, none other than Baked Bodega! Me and Bodega been plotting this episode for some months now. We felt it was only right to capture the essence of Washington Heights nowhere else but his stoop on 187 and Audubon, 14 blocks from my old Haze spot on 173 (Red Door). We couldn't have asked for a better day in the city. It was so hot, I had to shoot the episode in my guinea tee! We had the homie Yoshi on the grill whippin plates for the block, the good smoke was in the air, and the block was poppin! Me and Bodega chopped it up about life, death, the game, NYC, and what's next for the Baked Bodega crew! This was a one to a kind episode Foreal and because I love yall, I'm gonna let you in a little secret. We literally almost lost this episode! If Ruben didn't send me the one angle rough copy to pull clips from what you're watching right now, you guys would've never even seen this episode. Unfortunately, we lost a hard drive that had a lot of media on it and it cooked the two other angles. So I hope you guys enjoy this episode with one angle. It was a day in the life in Washington Heights on a sunny spring day. I don't get much better than that! The only thing missing was that early 2000's block work Piff! I think it's only right that we honor his late brother Dylan with this podcast! Put something in the air for the bro! Y'all know what time it is… Roll em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants, do what you gotta do because we're about to head up to 187 and Audubon and burn one with the homie Baked Bodega! ✌

Roger Tory Peterson, the best known American figure of 20th Century birdwatching, offered help on birding by ear. Whenever he could, he provided a catchphrase to identify a bird's song. "Witchety-witchety-witchety" captures the song of this Common Yellowthroat. The California Quail seems to say, "Chicago, Chicago, Chicago." Go on a field trip with your local Audubon, and discover more bird songs. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Many golf courses pride themselves on their lush landscapes, but few stop to consider the unseen challenges of maintaining them—especially on remote islands. In this episode, we dive into the unexpected realities of water management at one of the world's most stunning new golf resorts, Cabot St. Lucia. Without easy access to freshwater, maintaining fairways and greens becomes a surprisingly complex and costly endeavor, revealing a hidden problem that many golf operations face without even realizing it. As director of agronomy Damon Di Giorgio explains, water scarcity isn't just a looming environmental issue—it's a daily operational reality that demands creative solutions. From reverse osmosis desalination systems to microclimate-specific management strategies, Damon and his team must be meticulous with every drop. Listeners will come to appreciate how standard practices elsewhere would spell disaster in a setting like St. Lucia—and why sustainable resource management isn't a bonus, but a necessity. By the end of the conversation, you'll see how Cabot St. Lucia isn't just surviving these challenges—they're setting a new standard for eco-conscious, cost-effective golf course management. Through innovative partnerships, on-site nurseries, and precision agronomy practices, the team at Cabot demonstrates that environmental sustainability and financial sustainability can—and must—go hand-in-hand for the future of golf. Topics covered:   (0:00) Damon's intro and Cabot St. Lucia John Failla introduces Damon Di Giorgio and shares personal experience playing the course Damon shares his background and role at Cabot St. Lucia Overview of Cabot Collection and Point Hardy Golf Club (04:20) Damon's agronomy leadership Damon explains his “head trash picker-upper” philosophy Three key divisions: beach cleaning, landscaping, and course maintenance Emphasis on supporting and mentoring his team leaders (06:54) Defining sustainability locally Damon frames sustainability as both “the right thing” and “necessity” Explains high cost of desalinated irrigation water Describes Cabot's design prioritizing minimal water use (08:53) Island operations challenges Long, complex supply chains vs. mainland operations Heavy reliance on planning, stocking, and improvisation Specific issues with beach cleaning and sargassum influx (12:22) Big sustainability projects Replanting native plants removed during course construction Two onsite nurseries: landscaping propagation and organic farming Use of saltwater and organic fertilizers to reduce chemical use (20:44) Key partnerships advancing sustainability Entire Cabot Collection enrolled in Audubon's Platinum Signature Sanctuary program Toro partnership working toward AI-driven moisture management Regular soil testing and precision irrigation practices (27:10) Future vision and tech innovation Focus on microclimate-based management across the course Research collaborations to time pest and weed control naturally Dream of reusing desalination brine for sustainable herbicide solutions Resources & People Mentioned Cabot St. Lucia — https://cabotstlucia.com Audubon International's Platinum Signature Sanctuary Program — https://www.auduboninternational.org/signature-sanctuary-certification Toro and TurfRad Technologies — https://www.turfnet.com/news.html/toro-and-turfrad-develop-new-moisture-sensor-technology-r1840/ Connect with Damon Di Giorgio   Connect with Damon Di Giorgio on LinkedIn Connect With Golf Sustainability   LinkedIn  Facebook  Instagram X (Twitter) Email   Subscribe to Golf Sustainability Apple Podcast  Spotify    Note: Timestamps provided are approximate.

Gray whale migration, Audubon hikes, and an arts-filled weekend ahead. Life on Alaska's Emerald Isle - Kodiak.

Mary Vaux Walcott (1860-1940) was an American artist, botanist, and naturalist known as the “Audubon of Botany” for her detailed watercolor illustrations of North American wildflowers. She was also a pioneer in photography, glacial studies, and mountaineering. For Further Reading: Mary Vaux Walcott | Banff, AB - Official Website Mary Vaux Walcott - Conservation HeritageConservation Heritage A Delicate Art: Artists and Nature This month, we’re talking about cultivators — women who nurtured, cross-pollinated, experimented, or went to great lengths to better understand and protect the natural world. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.

Muppeturgy's Adam Grosswirth returns to talk about Shondaland's latest show for Netflix, The Residence, which takes us behind the scenes at the White House via a murder mystery -- but could the stellar cast make up for a too-long runtime and not-funny-enough writing? Do we have an Only Murders In The West Wing copycat problem? And should you bother watching? We went Around The Dial with The Righteous Gemstones, Smash on Broadway, and B-B-B-B-Bosch: Legacy's swan-song season, and Adam hoped he could train the panel to vote a first-season Murder, She Wrote into the Canon. Project Runway won, Netflix lost, and it came down to the wire in a very (equalizer) challenging Game Time. Grab that Audubon off the windowsill and have a listen! GUESTS

Hungarian Esther Horvath is a multi-award winning polar photographer whose work focuses on climate research in the polar regions. By documenting the work and life of scientists who deliver important data, Esther hopes to help make a difference in how people understand what actually is occurring, and her collaborations with scientists help raise public awareness about these increasingly fragile environments. Esther was born in 1979 in Sopron, Hungary. Esther grew up behind the Iron Curtain and even though she lived only a few kilometers from the Austrian border she was ten years old before the ‘curtain' came down and she was able to explore the Austrian mountains where the Alps start, discovering a world that held a fascination which would become a life-long passion for her as an explorer.  Despite a childhood interest in art and photography Esther chose to study Economics at West Hungarian University for her Masters Degree. Upon graduating she worked in the private sector in Vienna  and at 25 she owned her first camera which would prove to be life-changing. With a growing passion for photography she decided to go to New York to study Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at International Center of Photography, (ICP). After finishing ICP, she received an assignment from Audubon magazine, to the Arctic Ocean, which was the next most important milestone in her life. Today she documented 25 scientific expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctica. From 2019 – 2020, Esther spent almost four months on board the Polarstern icebreaker during polar nights in extreme conditions, documenting the MOSAiC expedition in the Central Arctic Ocean, the largest ever Arctic Ocean science expedition.  In 2022 she was the official photographer of the Endurance22 expedition, searching and finding Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship the Endurance. Esther won the first prize in World Press Photo Award, Environmental single category in 2020. In 2022, she received the Infinity Award from the International Center of Photography in New York for her work in raising awareness about conservation, environmental justice and climate change. Esther is a contributing photographer and explorer for National Geographic Explorer, and a Nikon Ambassador and photographer for the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research.

This winter marks the 125th year of Audubon's Christmas Bird Count, in which bird nerds across the Western Hemisphere venture outside to record all the birds they see and hear.Scientists use that data to understand how birds are faring, where they're moving, and what they're up to when it's not breeding season. With 125 years under its belt, the Christmas Bird Count is the longest-running community science program in the world.How do scientists use this data? And what have they learned in those 125 years? Ira Flatow talks with Dr. Brooke Bateman, senior director of climate and community science at the National Audubon Society, and Dr. Janet Ng, wildlife biologist at Environment and Climate Change Canada in Regina, Canada.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Since 1970, the bird population in North America has declined by about 3 billion birds. In Season 8, Episode 5, host Sarah Thorne and Jeff King, National Lead of the Engineering With Nature (EWN) Program, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), are joined by special guest, Dr. Elizabeth Gray, CEO of the National Audubon Society. Elizabeth is an ornithologist and a world-renowned champion of science-based conservation and leads an organization dedicated to protecting birds by altering the course of biodiversity loss. Elizabeth is the first woman CEO of Audubon since its founding in 1905. In her lifetime, Elizabeth has seen significant changes in bird populations. “This is just really tragic, and we know two-thirds of those birds are threatened by climate change. When I go out in the field, I see increasing habitat loss and habitat fragmentation. Climate change is a magnifier of all these effects, and birds are indicators of planetary health—really the sentinels and the symbols of how the planet's doing.”Audubon's 5-year strategic plan, called “Flight Plan,” is designed to “bend the bird curve”—to halt, and ultimately reverse, this decline of birds across the Americas by using science; building strong partnerships; and finding solutions that are positive for birds, for people, and for the planet. “We believe that what birds need—clean water, clean air, a healthy food system, a healthy climate—is also what people need.” Elizabeth notes how these efforts continue a tradition going back to the early 1900s when Audubon began protecting one of the last Reddish Egret rookeries. These efforts grew into Audubon's Coastal Bird Stewardship program, which now has over 500 sites in coastal areas, 1500 volunteers, and 250 partner organizations.Collaboration and partnerships are key to addressing these complex and interconnected issues and Audubon is well known for bringing together unlikely partners, industry, local communities, policy makers, decision-makers, government officials, Indigenous communities, and other conservation organizations. “We often have different priorities, but we've found that you can get people who have different priorities, even different values, certainly different approaches, to sit at a table if you can align around the outcome that you want to achieve together.” She adds that birds are Audubon's “superpower.” “Birds don't pay attention to geographic boundaries. They don't pay attention to what divides people or countries and things like that. They're really the ultimate unifier here. And I think to me, birds remind us of our shared humanity and the fact that we really share this planet.”Nature-based solutions (NBS) play a key role in Audubon's efforts. As Elizabeth notes, NBS can contribute significant greenhouse gas reductions through protecting, restoring, and appropriately managing natural areas, coastal systems, mangroves, grasslands, and forests while also delivering cobenefits to nature and society. Jeff notes the strong synergy and alignment between the mission of Audubon and the objectives of EWN. “With nature-based solutions, we can create resilience while also enhancing habitat and biodiversity and accomplish many more cobenefits. I see so many things that are complementary here, and I'm just excited about what you're doing and seeing on the horizon within Audubon.” For more information and resource links, please visit the EWN Podcast page on the EWN website at https://www.engineeringwithnature.org/  Jeff King at LinkedInElizabeth Gray at LinkedIn

Trees have long been imagined as the earth's lungs inhaling carbon dioxide and exhaling the oxygen needed to support life. That life, too, is important for sustaining the earth. One scholar suggests that the animals that fill the planet's landscapes serve as earth's heart and arteries without them, the earth would be little more than a barren rock. The way that animals make our world is the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories, Joe Roman is a conservation biologist, marine ecologist, and editor 'n' chief of Eat The Invaders. Winner of the 2012 Rachel Carson Environment Book Award for Listed: Dispatches from America's Endangered Species Act, Roman has written for the New York Times, Science, Audubon, New Scientist, Slate, and other publications. Like many of the animals he studies, Roman is a free-range biologist. He has worked at Harvard University, Duke University Marine Lab, University of Iceland, University of Havana, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the University of Vermont, where he is a fellow and writer in residence at the Gund Institute for Environment.

For over ten years, biologist Mark Higley has been stalking the forests of the Hoopa Valley Reservation with a shotgun. His mission? To save the endangered northern spotted owl. The threat? The more aggressive barred owl, which has spread from eastern forests into the Pacific Northwest.The federal government plans to scale up these efforts and kill hundreds of thousands of barred owls across multiple states. But can the plan really save the northern spotted owl? And is the barred owl really “invasive”… or just expanding its range? In this episode, Nate Hegyi dons a headlamp and heads into the forest with Mark Higley to catch a glimpse of these two rivals, and find out what it takes to kill these charismatic raptors, night after night, in the name of conservation.Featuring Mark Higley, Tom Wheeler, and Wayne Pacelle.  SUPPORTOutside/In is made possible with listener support.

The American Wigeon is a grazer. Its bill is narrow, with a pointed tip like that of a goose. When feeding on water plants, a wigeon grabs a leaf and rips it off with its strong bill, rather than using the straining apparatus typical of dabbling ducks. Take a field trip with your local Audubon and see if you can spot a wigeon.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

When courting in spring, male and female Cedar Waxwings communicate with distinctly different calls and, perched side by side, often pass back and forth between them a berry or other small fruit or even a flower petal. Waxwings display a wealth of eye-catching plumage. If you relish the company of Cedar Waxwings, plant fruit-bearing trees and shrubs. Find native plants for your garden at Audubon's Native Plant Database.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Today the Audubon Society chapters in St. Paul and Minneapolis announced they're dropping the "Audubon" name because of John Audubon's history of racism and slave owning. Is this too far? Or a legitimate re-evaluation of history? (Photo by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images for The National Audubon Society)
