Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Erik Houston, Executive Director of the Wolf River Conservancy, who highlights the nonprofit local land trust and the organization's mission and efforts dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the Wolf River and its watershed as a sustainable natural resource.During the interview, Erik shares how the organization was formed in 1985 and discusses their role as an accredited land trust working with landowners and the community to conserve land by accepting donations of land, purchasing land, negotiating private, voluntary conservation agreements on land, and stewarding conserved land through the generations to come. The Wolf River Conservancy works to preserve and protect the 522,000-acre Wolf River watershed, which includes the recharge zones for the Memphis Sands Aquifer, which supplies residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural water needs across the Mid-South area. The organization has protected over 20,000 acres and educates 6,000 students annually through field trips and educational programs. Erik spotlights their programs and some of the many events the organization hosts, including the Wolf River Restoration Series, Discover the Greenway 5K race, and the Greenway Soiree, a major fundraising event being held November 8, 2025, featuring live and silent auctions, signature cocktails, dinner and immersive moments that bring the organization's mission to life. Erik then discusses the Wolf River Greenway, a 14-mile trail system with plans to expand to 26 miles by 2030, and how it serves as a key asset for Memphis. The Conservancy seeks community support through donations and volunteer opportunities to continue its mission of land protection, educational programming, and water quality preservation.Visit https://www.wolfriver.org to learn more and to get involved with the Wolf River Conservancy.

This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, gets caught up with the developments across the river at Origin Park with Dennis Schnurbusch II, CEO of River Heritage Conservancy. Tune in to learn more about the plans for Origin Park (https://originpark.org), an evolving new urban riverfront park of 430 acres on the north shore of the Ohio River, in Clarksville, Indiana.

Nearly 700 volunteers, including some from as far away as Japan, descended on the Appalachian Trail in the past year in an unprecedented effort to recover a landscape forever scarred by Hurricane Helene. The storm in September 2024 shut down 431 miles of the AT. Trees were snapped in half, piled in what looked like a bizarre game of pickup sticks. Landslides and flooding tore away trails and treadway. Bridges and crossovers were gone. It was — and still is — a disaster of historic proportions. But it's also a story of resiliency of the land and the people who are stewards of it. This week the Traveler's Jan Childs talks with two of the famous trail's stewards: Joe Morris, project coordinator for Tennessee Eastman Hiking and Canoeing Club, and Franklin Tate, regional director for the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, which by the way is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.

Our guest today is Sehila Mota Casper, Executive Director of the Latinos In Heritage Conservation. With deep roots in historic preservation and community advocacy, Sehila shares her inspiring journey from grassroots organizing to leading a national movement that centers Latinx stories, sites, and cultural memory.Under her leadership, the Conservancy recently unveiled the first-ever national list of Endangered Latinx Landmarks—a groundbreaking initiative that shines a spotlight on 13 culturally significant sites across the U.S. and Puerto Rico that are under threat from gentrification, neglect, demolition, and climate change. This campaign marks a pivotal moment in cultural preservation, and Sehila's voice and the work of her small but mighty team is front and center in amplifying these stories and mobilizing communities to protect them.Explore the full list and learn more about the initiative on Latinos in Heritage Conservation's official website: https://www.latinoheritage.us#LatinosInHeritageConservation#LatinxHeritageMatters#EndangeredLatinxLandmarks#PreserveOurStories#HealthCareUnToldPodcast

Having a vision isn't enough. How do you lead your community to get behind a transformative vision that will be felt for generations to come? In today's episode, I talk with Lynn and Tom Meredith, co-chairs—along with several of their children and spouses—of the upcoming Glow in the Park benefiting the Waterloo Greenway Conservancy. Lynn and Tom's leadership and vision has been instrumental in transforming Downtown Austin's Waterloo Greenway into a world-class urban greenspace. Each fall, the organization hosts Glow in the Park at Moody Amphitheater, celebrating completed milestones and the ongoing transformation of the 1.5-mile, 35-acre greenspace. Lynn and Tom share their knowledge and expertise on a range of topics including how to get involved in a community as a new resident, what nonprofits and startups have in common, how nonprofits can successfully evolve with a growing city, overcoming the naysayers who say your vision can't be achieved, and so much more. Don't miss this inspiring conversation with two transformative leaders.

Pollinators play a critical role in our food system, but their decline has immediate consequences for food security, public health, and the resilience of ecosystems. The Bee Conservancy was created in response to that reality. What started as a grassroots effort has grown into programs that bring pollinator gardens across the city, provide seeds and support to urban farmers, and engage residents in community science to track bee populations. Today, I’m joined by The Bee Conservancy’s Rebecca Louie, to hear about how the organization has expanded since she joined in 2019, the partnerships that have brought unexpected resources to the table, and the importance of asking for help. Her perspective offers lessons for anyone starting out in the nonprofit world, or simply looking for meaningful ways to contribute.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Siskiyou Land Conservancy just finalized a new acquisition of 170 acres on Baduwa't, joining a 183 acre property that the Conservancy acquired earlier in the year, to create a 353 acre reserve. Baduwa't is, of course, important. It is home to coho salmon and a summer run of steelhead trout. And the river also provides domestic water for 70 percent of Humboldt County residents. Yet Baduwa't remains the least protected of all of the fabled “six rivers” of the California North Coast. The new reserve will help to protect some of the headwaters of the river, including limited patches of old-growth forest. Greg King of Siskiyou Land Conservancy joins the program to discuss the new reserve and what this means for Baduwa't.Support the show

Anniversaries and birthdays give us time to reflect on individuals, accomplishments, and moments in history. They often refresh our memories and can serve as motivators to do something. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, which was established in 1925, just two years after the first sections of the Appalachian Trail opened. To discuss the trail, some of its history, and the challenges it faces today, our guests are Sandi Marra, CEO of the Conservancy, and Brendan Mysliwiec, the Conservancy's Director of Federal Policy.

In this episode, co-hosts Annie Scibienski and Taly Louria welcome back Troy Weldy, president of the Columbia Land Conservancy, to give an update on a few of the exciting projects the Conservancy has been up to lately. First up, recently launched 'Let's Go CoCo' is a website with a wealth of information dedicated to helping people find places in Columbia County to connect with nature. It includes not only the recreational land tracts under the Conservancy's auspices but also an extensive list of all public lands available for recreation in Columbia County. A directory and print map lists every public site and lets you search and filter available places based on your criteria - where are good places to swim, fish or picnic, which have ADA-accessible trails, where you can bring your dog, and much more. There's also a blog with seasonal tips for getting outside, how to enjoy nature safely and be respectful of the land, and offers ways to volunteer. Another exciting project in the works is the Taghkanic Headwaters Conservation Plan, a major land project designed to protect over 500 acres in the Taghkanic Headwaters. The land that the Conservancy is working to protect is a beautiful, ecologically important piece of forest that supports wildlife, clean water, and even the City of Hudson's drinking supply. But the Taghkanic Headwaters conservation project isn't just about setting land aside, it's also about how communities can come together to shape how public land is used and cared for. One of the most exciting things about this project is the vision behind it: the creation of a community forest.The concept is pretty simple: instead of one organization making all the rules the people who actually walk the trails, fish the pond, or picnic with their kids, help make decisions about how the land is used and cared for. It's a more collaborative, inclusive approach to conservation, and it's something the Conservancy hopes to model for future projects. Troy also shares news about other local efforts: building a trail from downtown Hudson to the Greenport Conservation Area, improving public access to green space, and working with towns across Columbia County to develop a Countywide Conservation Plan that identifies and protects the places that matter most. Whether you're a gardener, hiker, nature lover, or just curious about local conservation efforts, this episode gives a hopeful look at how we can all play a part in caring for the places we love.

In this episode of Who Runs This Park, host Maddie Pellman sits down with Deb Yandala, the longtime CEO of the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park. With over two decades of leadership, Deb has grown the Conservancy into one of the most impactful national park friends groups in the country—expanding educational programming, launching arts initiatives like the beloved concert series, and forging deep community connections across northeast Ohio.Deb reflects on her journey from curriculum developer to CEO, the strategic merger that launched the Conservancy, and the importance of board leadership, diversified income streams, and collaborative partnerships. She offers powerful insights on what makes nonprofits thrive, how to get involved in the national park space, and why parks are essential to our mental health and social fabric.This conversation is both a celebration of Deb's legacy and a roadmap for aspiring leaders who believe in the healing power of nature and the value of strong community-rooted partnerships. As Deb prepares to step down later this year, her story offers wisdom, inspiration, and a reminder that we are ultimately judged by what we do, not what we plan.Feeling inspired and want to support Cuyahoga Valley National Park?

The populations of some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife have been bouncing back thanks to decades of conservation efforts. But activists are warning that climate change and human activity are shrinking their habitats. Now, a nature preserve in central Kenya is pushing to set aside more land to connect with other preserves to allow wild animals to roam freely. John Yang reports.
