Podcasts about Forester

In honor of National Park Week and Earthday 2025, we are supporting OUR national parks by sharing stories about what we love about the parks that we all collectively own (the most beautiful and ecologically significant wild places/habitats in the nation...and in the world, as some earned UNESCO World Heritage Site designations), to help encourage Americans to ask for political support to stop trump and musk/DOGE from defunding OUR parks and to stop firing our hard-working park rangers and staff who are our park defenders. In this 28 minute episode I talk about an Atlanta group of women I'm working with on National Park support projects via an Intown Women's Resistance group. They helped send in stories from people around the nation of people talking about parks they love and why (like Cumberland Island NP in GA, and Arches NP in Utah, and me talking about seeing bison and interviewing wolf biologist Rick McIntyre in Yellowstone's Lamar Valley). We encourage you all to share your own park memories with friends and on social media, and to contact your federal Senators and Representatives to demand they protect park employee jobs and fully fund the national parks, and any park programs associated with climate mitigation and DEI, and protect all OUR public lands (some of which are now threatened with being sold to private owners/industries, snuck into a recent Republican budget bill). We must stay vigilant. Here are some organizations that support parks and their employees and can keep us educated on issues and action items, recommended by friend and retired Forester from the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Kristine Johnson:  PEER: Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility The Coalition to Protect America's National Parks The National Park Conservation Association "In Tune to Nature" is a weekly radio show airing Wednesdays at 6pm Eastern Time on 89.3FM-Atlanta radio and streaming worldwide on wrfg.org (Radio Free Georgia, a nonprofit indie station) hosted by me, Carrie Freeman, or Melody Paris.

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater discusses the intricacies of managing hunting properties with guest Matt Williams (Mushroom Matt). They explore the importance of habitat complexity, particularly the role of switchgrass, and delve into Matt's personal experience of acquiring a 40-acre property. The conversation highlights the challenges of selecting the right logger and forester, as well as the significance of terrain features in deer movement and habitat management. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the intricacies of property management, focusing on habitat management, tree selection, and the economic implications of land use. They discuss the importance of strategic tree tagging, the value of ironwoods, and the creation of food plots and food forests to enhance biodiversity and sustainability. The dialogue emphasizes the need for thoughtful planning and management to create resilient ecosystems that support wildlife and provide resources for future generations. Takeaways: Landscape complexity is crucial for effective habitat management. Switchgrass can be beneficial but lacks food value for deer. Understanding local deer populations is essential for property management. Terrain features significantly influence deer movement and behavior. Selecting the right logger and forester is vital for property success. Creating physical barriers can help manage deer access and pressure. Planning and execution are key to successful land management. Compartmentalization can reduce social pressure on deer populations. Regeneration of native browse is important for wildlife health. Effective property management requires ongoing observation and adaptation. Property safety is paramount in land management. Economic factors play a crucial role in forestry decisions. Tree selection impacts habitat and wildlife positively. Ironwood trees are valuable for food and ecosystem health. Mushroom growth indicates a thriving ecosystem. Food plots can enhance wildlife management strategies. Diversity in tree species promotes resilience in ecosystems. Creating a food forest can provide sustainable resources. Layering plants in a food forest maximizes ecological services. Effective land management requires a holistic approach.

Ever wondered how Consumer Reports determines which vehicles truly deserve a top recommendation? In our latest episode, we pull back the curtain on their rigorous testing process with automotive engineer Alex Knizek, who reveals the science behind their coveted 2025 vehicle ratings.Alex takes us through Consumer Reports' unique approach to vehicle evaluation - one where they purchase every test vehicle directly from dealerships rather than accepting manufacturer loaners. Each vehicle undergoes approximately 50 different tests at their Connecticut facility, with results combined with reliability data from thousands of CR members to produce their authoritative rankings.The 2025 top picks feature some surprising winners. The Nissan Sentra earns recognition in the small car category for its combination of comfort, features, and value at around $25,000. Subaru secures two spots with the Crosstrek and Forester, both praised for their straightforward functionality and impressive ride quality in an era of overly complicated vehicle interfaces.Perhaps most noteworthy is Toyota's decision to make the Camry hybrid-only for 2025 - a move that demonstrates their mastery of hybrid technology, delivering 48 MPG without compromising the driving experience. Meanwhile, the Ford Maverick pickup truck represents a unique value proposition with its unibody construction and newly available all-wheel drive hybrid option.For used car shoppers, Alex shares several recommendations that offer exceptional value, including the 2016 Mazda6 (under $10,000), 2018 Toyota Corolla ($12,000-$15,000), and 2016 Honda CR-V (under $15,000). He reveals an insider tip: vehicles at the end of their production cycle often offer better reliability as manufacturers have refined their designs.Whether you're shopping for a new vehicle or seeking a reliable used car, this episode delivers practical, data-driven advice to help you make a smarter automotive purchase deciBe sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!ProAm Auto AccessoriesProAm Auto Accessories: "THE" place to go to find exclusive and hard to find parts and accessories!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss the biggest departure the 49ers saw on the opening day of NFL free agency, Dre Greenlaw. The names kept piling up throughout the day, though, as San Francisco bid adieu to OT Jaylon Moore, RB Elijah Mitchell, DB Talanoa Hufanga, OL Aaron Banks, QB Joshua Dobbs, CB Charvarius Ward and FB Kyle Juszczyk. Matt and Jennifer discuss the impact of these free agents signing elsewhere, most expected, but with a few surprises. The day wasn't full of departures, however, as they retained backup RB Patrick Taylor Jr. and reportedly signed TE Luke Farrell.

100,000 acres of land burned by wildfires is typically the marker of a bad fire year in Nebraska. We're already at 30,000 acres burned this year, and we're not even through March. After a stretch of warm, windy and even record-breaking weather, Nebraska Public Media's Jackie Ourada asked State Forester John Erixson about Nebraska's fire outlook for 2025.

Our National Park Service staff are under seige, as so many federal employees are, from trump and Elon Musk's unfair attacks on our federal government agencies with haphazard and frankly cruel mass firings of public servants (not truly based on inefficiency or poor performance) along with spending and hiring freezes that are traumatizing and debilitating park employees and surrounding communities, creating a culture of fear and demoralization (the rhetoric not only lacks appreciation but is insulting). What little we gain in $ savings are outweighed by the massive long-term costs for everyone. I turned to a career public servant with over 40 years in the National Park Service -- retired Supervisory Forester Kristine Johnson from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, still living and volunteering in Gatlinburg, TN-- to have her on the "In Tune to Nature" show to help us understand what is going on and how these firings and spending freezes are really affecting park employees and morale on the ground (kids and the broader Gatlinburg community included). In our 47-minute conversation, Kristine also shares the potential long-term harmful impacts on wild animal residents and park habitats, concerns about the government privatizing park jobs and prioritizing recreation over wildlife and scientific research, public and wild animal safety issues, and what we as citizens can do now to help support our parks in this crisis. Prior to the trump regime, our national parks were already overloaded with tourists who love them, while being chronically understaffed and underfunded. The parks can't afford to lose any more dedicated staff, so American citizens need to step up to defend them if we truly care. Do we have the power to get these hardworking and talented folks re-hired if we tell our U.S. Senators and Representative that's what we demand?! Let's find out.

The show starts with Benjamin's take on the 2025 Subaru Forester, a car we haven't talked about for nearly three years! With a new generation and new lineup, Benjamin goes down memory lane to talk about what the Forester represented, and uses the new model to explain how Subaru has moved away from STI towards a more successful marketing strategy and lineup. He also shares what makes this Forester so good in the way appliances can often be. Then Sami brings up the 2025 Lincoln Aviator he recently piloted for a wintery getaway. Loaded with massage seats, hands-free driving technology, and tons of creature comforts, he seemed impressed, until he checked out the rest of the Lincoln lineup, and remembered the PHEV model from the past... Is the Aviator caught in a holding pattern? Then the guys quickly discuss a listener comment before signing off. Thanks for listening!

For more than a decade, Ethan Tapper has been recognized as a thought-leader and a disruptor in the worlds of forestry, conservation, and ecosystem stewardship. He has many years of experience managing private and public forestlands. He has received numerous awards and distinctions, including Forester-of-the-Year, by the Northeast-Midwest Foresters Alliance. Ethan lives in Northern Vermont, where he manages a 175-acre forest and homestead called ‘Bear Island'…and rumor has it he is a musician in a punk-rock band. In his tender and fearless literary debut, Tapper proffers a more complex vision. He writes that we must act now in order to protect ecosystems, and that the actions we must take will often be counterintuitive, uncomfortable, even heartbreaking. In striking prose, he shows how bittersweet acts—like loving deer and hunting deer, loving trees and felling trees—can be radical expressions of compassion. In this poetic and visionary book, Tapper weaves a new land ethic for the modern world, reminding us that what is simple is rarely true, and what is necessary is rarely easy. Countless decisions await. There are no perfect solutions; only endless bittersweet compromises. How to Love a Forest: The Bittersweet Work of Tending a Changing World (Broadleaf Books, 2024) offers a clear-eyed, hopeful vision of a world in which so much is wrong and so much is worth saving. Michael Simpson has been actively working, researching and teaching in the watershed management and wetlands fields for 40 years. He is a licensed wetlands scientist where he has conducted numerous delineations, wetland assessments and restorations employing a variety of assessment approaches and data collection procedures, as well as designing wetlands for treatment of NPS run-off and wastewater. He has also held a position as graduate school Professor at Antioch University New England, where he has taught courses in wetlands ecology, watershed science and management, climate science & climate vulnerability and adaptation His primary research has been funded by both US EPA and NOAA, which has focused upon impact to natural systems and built infrastructure in riparian corridors and estuaries, from changes in land-use combined with increases in storm intensity and frequency due to projected climate change.

Brien Foerster needs no introduction, he's a modern day Indiana Jones exploring the ancient megalithic sites of the world. He's a high caliber speaker in researcher that is highly regarded.  His findings point to a much different history then we are told by academics, which leads to an ancient past that was filled with technology and different looking beings who once walked on this Earth. The conversation goes into megaliths from Egypt, Peru, Bolivia, Easter island to a giant cataclysm that seemed to wipe most of this ancient past from societies memory. (except the elites who seem to know more) We also talk about ancient Hawaiian culture, the giants, and Mu Lemuria. We go in depth about the elongated Paracas skulls which seem to be a species that lived amongst this Earth with humans and regarded as some type of royalty. You can find a Brien Forester at:https://hiddenincatours.com Where you can explore mankind's ancient history.

With climate change, the threat of wildfires, and human encroachment among other things, our trees and forests are in desperate need of guardians. From tropical rainforests, often referred to as the lungs of the planet, to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in California's White Mountains, home to some of the oldest living organisms on earth, what is being done to protect our woodlands?

Just a few weeks in the 2025, and there has been a flurry of Subaru news. At the Tokyo Auto Salon, the new S210 STI was revealed, but it is based on the WRX S4 and is the first "S" car to use a CVT transmission. How does this compare to the previous "S" series cars? The new 2026 Outback has been leaked, and it is a big change from the current design. The problem is it looks almost exactly like the Forester and Ascent. They all look like very similar SUV's... So what does this tell us about the direction that Subaru is moving for the future? Is there anything for the Subaru Enthusiast to be excited about? Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

It's the way the whole world should work! We're going to read from it to our kids over and over!” OK.. now that's about as high praise as you can get. The book's title would lead one to believe its about forests, but join us to see why as beautiful as that part is… there is so much more there!

(Nov 18, 2024)

Wes Forester, PGA Director of Golf at Reynolds Lake Oconee joined Rob Thomas on the Club + Resort Talks podcast to discuss Richland—the seventh golf course at the Greensboro, Ga. property. The new 18-hole layout was created by acclaimed course architect Tom Fazio by combining nine holes from his existing National course with nine all-new holes. This gives Reynolds Lake Oconee two Fazio designs (Richland and The National) along with courses from Jack Nicklaus (Great Waters), Rees Jones (The Oconee), Jim Engh (Creek Club), and two by Bob Cupp (The Preserve and The Landing). The new Richland turns the Bluff nine from the original, Fazio-designed National—with some recent modifications—into holes 1 through 5 and 15 through 18. The new holes, 6 through 14, traverse the peninsula of Reynolds and tumbles down to the Richland side of Lake Oconee. The resulting layout provides plenty of challenge with fescue-lined fairways, numerous bunkers, and dramatic elevation changes. Among the changes to the nine Bluff holes were removing or repositioning bunkers, adding new ones, and combining smaller bunkers to create larger ones. Some greens have been reshaped and/or moved, often bringing the lake more into play. New fescue native areas and low-mow chipping areas were also added on some holes. The new nine utilizes significant elevation change to put an emphasis on club selection and angle of attack. Players will encounter doglegs, a deep valley and big ravine, plus sloping greens and strategically placed bunkering. They'll also have the chance to refresh themselves at a new halfway house – The Turn – between holes 9 and 10. The Turn is a mobile food truck that will serve burgers, sandwiches, wraps and a full array of beverages. Also on this podcast … In the world of golf clubs, resorts, and hospitality venues, delivering unforgettable player experiences is paramount, and effective team communication plays a central role in achieving this. Elle Ferebee, Senior Account Executive at Relay, highlights how the right communication tools not only streamline team interactions but also help transform member experiences into something truly memorable. The Glen Ridge (N.J.) Country Club's planned expansion includes constructing a children's pool and removing 56 trees, raising concerns among neighboring residents. The proposed pool placement—just 13 feet from the property line—requires a variance, as local law typically mandates a 100-foot setback. The Zoning Board of Adjustment was scheduled to review these variance requests Nov. 14. Findings have yet to be announced. One local resident expressed concerns about the impact of the expansion on noise levels in the area. Two years into a significant restoration effort, Asheville, N.C.'s historic Municipal Golf Course, known affectionately as “Muni,” is facing severe setbacks after Tropical Storm Helene. The city was close to completing multimillion-dollar improvements across the course's 18 holes, including upgrades to fairways, bunkers, cart paths, and greens, along with extensive stormwater system repairs. However, after Helene swept through on Sept. 27, the Swannanoa River, which runs beside the course, overflowed to more than 26 feet, submerging the surrounding areas. The resulting floodwaters inundated Muni's front nine holes, with water and debris gushing from drainage inlets, undermining the turf and reversing much of the recent improvement work.

In this episode of Out of the Woods: The Threat Hunting Podcast, Scott Poley catches up with Violet Sullivan, cyber services lead for insurance carrier Crum and Forester, at the Information Security Summit in Cleveland. Violet dives into the evolving world of cyber insurance, shedding light on the often-overlooked layers of coverage that go beyond cyber events, including system outages and privacy litigation. She explains the shifting focus from ransomware to privacy issues, and how the rising importance of privacy is impacting both insurance policies and legal frameworks. They discuss the nuanced world of privacy litigation and emerging technologies like privacy scans, which scrutinize website data collection practices. Violet also addresses the current debate on AI training data, ownership, and privacy, offering insights into the challenges and implications for companies and individuals alike. If you're interested in the intersection of cyber insurance, privacy, and AI, this episode offers a compelling look at how these fields are rapidly converging. *Connect with Violet Sullivan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/txcyberlawyer/ ---- Stay in Touch!

In our sixth and final episode of the Fire in the Southwest Series—sponsored by the Southwest Fire Science Consortium and the Arizona Wildfire Initiative—we explore the complex, multicultural fire histories and management dynamics in New Mexico, with State Forester and Tribal Liaison Lindsey Quam.New Mexico's recent relationship with fire has been fraught with distrust in the aftermath of the 2022 Calf Canyon Hermits Peak Fire, which started from an escaped prescribed fire and an escaped pile burn. Lindsey's career has been bookended by such events, having started his career in Los Alamos, NM in the aftermath of the 2000 Cerro Grande Fire, which also started as an escaped prescribed fire. This has allowed him to witness first hand how public trust has ebbed and flowed around the use of prescribed fire. It's also presented opportunities for him to help shape and better understand the many mixed emotions New Mexicans have around this topic.Lindsey spoke to how the intersecting cultures and management values across New Mexico—including Indigenous peoples, the Hispanic population and, well, white people—presents challenges but also opportunities in trying to extoll the merits of prescribed fire."There's no dispute amongst native New Mexicans who live off the land—there is a recognition that fire is important and necessary, but there's also a fear," Lindsey, who is himself a member of the Zuni Pueblo, said.Lindsey also shared how his agency is scaling up forest treatments through collaboration, and establishing priority landscapes to implement landscape-scale resilience projects.If you'd like to learn more about acequias, which are mentioned in this episode, I can't recommend Patrick Lohmann's reporting enough. He is a journalist with Source NM and did some stellar reporting on the impacts of the Calf Canyon Hermits Peak Fire on acequias and traditional (and often rural) communities in northern New Mexico.

NOTE: This is part two of a two-part episode. To hear both parts right now and without ads, become a Patreon supporter of The War on Cars. In part two of our deep dive on John Forester and his 1976 book Effective Cycling, we take a look at the paltry data and research underpinning the alleged safety benefits of vehicular cycling and the long-term impact Forester had on cycling for transportation in the United States. Even though cities such as New York started building protected bicycle lanes in earnest in the late 2000s and early 2010s — and even though quality bike infrastructure has existed in places such as Davis, California for decades — John Forester's legacy continued well into the 21st century, with federal guides such as AASHTO's "Green Book" discouraging or even prohibiting things such as parking-protected bikeways until as recently as 2018. On top of that, many of Forester's disciples held positions atop major advocacy organizations and city bike planning departments for years, and used their influence to prevent the construction of protected bike lanes. In a lot of ways, we're still pedaling in the world John Forester created. This episode was sponsored by Bull Moose Softgoods and Cleverhood.  Listen to the episode for the latest discount codes.

NOTE: This is part one of a two-part episode. To hear both parts right now and without ads, become a Patreon supporter of The War on Cars. "Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles." That quote is the core philosophy of John Forester, the father of vehicular cycling. Forester, who died in 2020, was a major figure in the the world of cycling advocacy and transportation policy, and his influence shaped street design and bicycle safety in the United States for decades. We take a deep dive into Forester's 1976 book, Effective Cycling. Part guidebook, part encyclopedia, part polemic, Effective Cycling explains why cyclists should not be afraid to ride not just in traffic, but as traffic. Throughout the book, Forester dismisses anyone who might be afraid of taking the lane with fast-moving cars and trucks as suffering from what he calls the "cyclist inferiority complex" and asserts that only a strict adherence to the principles of vehicular cycling can keep everyone safe. Who was John Forester? What is vehicular cycling? Why are we talking about a book that was published almost fifty years ago? It's all here in this mega episode.
