The Trump Administration has taken a step toward opening tens of millions of acres of forest nationwide to roads, logging and other development. That includes 62,000 acres in northern Minnesota. That land is protected under what's called the Roadless Rule, created by the Clinton administration in 2001. In a statement last week, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins called the rule “outdated.” She said repealing it will help local forest managers control wildfires. Supporters of this move also say allowing logging and other development in these areas will boost rural economies. But environmental groups say it will jeopardize public lands that people treasure. Public comment on the proposal is open through Sept. 21.Forest ecologist Lee Frelich and director Center for Forest Ecology at the University of Minnesota joined Minnesota Now to explain how Minnesota's forests could be impacted.
African forests are vital for food and economic development, as well as for supporting millions of species of animals and plants. We find out how to protect them better with one of Africa's top environmentalists! From the giant Congo rainforest to the Kenyan highlands and the mangroves of Mozambique, Africa's forests are some of the most spectacular places on Earth. And these sensitive ecosystems are not just important for Africa: they play a vital role in the global climate because they store huge amounts of carbon dioxide and pump out oxygen. Kenyan environmentalist Wanjira Mathai has been campaigning to protect and nurture forests for decades. She tells The Climate Question about the challenges they now face across Africa from rapid urbanisation, mining and logging. The solution, according to Wanjira, is to place a proper economic value on the environmental services provided by forests and the communities who live in them – whether that's supplying water and food, or helping to prevent floods sweeping through cities such as Nairobi. Wanjira Mathai is Managing Director, Africa and Global Partnerships at the World Resources Institute. She's been chatting to The Climate Question host Jordan Dunbar and BBC Senior Climate Reporter Esme Stallard. Got a question for The Climate Question?

Puerto Rico may not be a very large island but its forests certainly are complex. Historically, Puerto Rico lost nearly 95% of its forest cover due to human activities but humans are also playing an important role in how they grow back. Understanding how historical land use and human management have influenced the regrowth of Puerto Rico's forests has been a major part of Dr. Ariel Lugo's scientific career. From naturalized and invasive species to the impacts of hurricanes and community empowerment, Dr. Lugo takes us on a deep dive into the complex world of the forests of Puerto Rico.

In this episode, John Passalacqua, CEO of First Phosphate Corp. explains two major government-backed catalysts advancing the company's flagship Bégin-Lamarche igneous phosphate project in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Québec. First, Bégin-Lamarche was selected for "Filon" support status with Québec's Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests, an initiative designed to accelerate mining projects in the province. Second, First Phosphate finalized agreements for an addition $4.84 million in non-repayable contributions from the Government of Canada, via Natural Resources Canada's First and Last Mile Fund, to advance the Bégin-Lamarche deposit. This new funding adds to the $16.7 million already committed by NRCan in March 2026 through the Global Partnerships Initiative — bringing total recent federal backing north of $21.5M. Both announcements reflect Ottawa's and Québec's shared push to build out domestic critical minerals supply chains for the North American LFP battery sector — de-risking permitting timelines and infrastructure costs for First Phosphate ahead of construction.

In this episode, the second in our series previewing the themes of the upcoming IASC conference, Michael sits down with the co-leaders of the Forests, Livelihoods, and Tenure sub-theme ahead of the conference in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia next summer. His guests are Moira Moeliono, a forest and climate researcher with more than twenty years at what is now the Landscape Alliance; Sandeep Khandekar, a commons practitioner based in India with Living Landscapes; and Jude Kimengsi, who leads the Landscape Governance and Development research group at Göttingen University. The conversation covers why forests, livelihoods, and tenure belong together as a theme. The guests discuss the unresolved tensions around carbon regimes and REDD+, asking whether programs like these ultimately serve forest-dependent communities or replicate the exclusions of earlier extractive regimes. They explore the colonial roots of state forest ownership in Indonesia and Cameroon, the limited reach of social forestry reforms, and the informal and often invisible forms of power that shape who actually benefits from forest governance. The subtheme is actively seeking submissions across multiple categories: academic papers, practitioner-academic dialogues, and policy roundtables. Topics of particular interest include innovative benefit-sharing mechanisms for forest communities, the role of technology in tenure mapping and rights claims, and research that surfaces the informal rules and hidden interests shaping forest governance. The call for submissions is now open: visit the conference website for details: https://2027.iasc-commons.org/
The word Adivasi in Hindi means original inhabitants or Indigenous peoples of India. "Jal, Jangal, Zameen."Water. Forest. Land. a famous Adivasi slogan implies that they are not simply natural resources For Adivasi or Indian indigenous communities, they are ancestors, memory, identity, and life itself. For generations, Indigenous peoples have protected forests, rivers, and biodiversity through relationships built not on ownership, but on care. When they defend their lands, they are also defending the ecosystems that sustain us all. Yet across India, these same communities continue to pay the price of so-called development. Forests are cleared, rivers are diverted, villages disappear from maps, and compensation can never replace a homeland, a sacred grove, or centuries of belonging.Today, we travel to the Ken–Betwa protest with independent journalist Bindu Romi Gurjar or @samachar_by_bindu on instagram, who reports from the heart of a movement led by Adivasi women, elders, and children. Through funeral pyre demonstrations, kitchen shutdown protests, and hunger strikes, they are refusing to let their voices be erased.

What happens when an artist follows curiosity so completely that it changes not only her work — but her life?In this episode of Ojai: Talk of the Town, host Bret Bradigan sits down with acclaimed Ojai artist Marie McKenzie, whose breathtaking underwater paintings are inspired by firsthand encounters with California's disappearing kelp forests. After learning of the dramatic decline of these vital marine ecosystems, Marie did something few artists would: she learned to freedive, overcoming her fear of the ocean to immerse herself in the world she wanted to paint.The result is Ocean Garden, a luminous new collection celebrating beauty, abundance and the surprising power of protecting what we love.But this conversation goes far beyond art. Marie shares how she learned to trust her intuition over deadlines, why beauty may be a more powerful force for change than outrage, how she built a career painting one small canvas at a time, and what it means to move from simply surviving as an artist to truly thriving.Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, conservationist — or anyone searching for more meaning in your work — this episode is an inspiring reminder that your greatest breakthroughs often begin on the other side of curiosity.In this episode you'll discover:Why Marie traded fear of the ocean for the freedom of freediving.How California's disappearing kelp forests transformed her artistic vision.Why she delayed releasing an entire collection until the paintings felt "ready."The surprising relationship between beauty, creativity and conservation.How a daily painting practice became the foundation of a successful artistic career.If you've ever wondered where inspiration comes from — or how to build a life around what you love — this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.Note: we did not talk about the Emily Wilson's Odyssey translation, the Cincinnati Reds or nano-technology.Check out more about Marie at https://www.mariemckenzie.com

The Honourable Ravi Parmar is British Columbia's Minister of Forests, Deputy Government House Leader and the Member of the Legislative Assembly for Langford–Highlands. One of the youngest people ever appointed to the provincial cabinet, he is currently the youngest MLA serving in the British Columbia Legislature. Born and raised in Langford, Ravi is the son of parents who immigrated to Canada from India in the early 1990s. His parents worked in health care and experienced significant employment uncertainty while raising their family. Those early experiences helped shape Ravi's belief in the importance of secure employment, strong public services and governments that deliver meaningful results for working people and their communities. Ravi's commitment to public service began at a remarkably young age. While attending Belmont Secondary School, he helped lead a student campaign calling for new schools to address the West Shore's rapidly growing population. That advocacy contributed to the construction of a new Belmont Secondary School and Royal Bay Secondary School. Ravi went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Victoria. In 2014, at just 20 years old, he was elected as a trustee with the Sooke School District Board of Education—becoming one of the youngest elected officials in Canada. Two years later, he was selected as board chair. During nearly a decade with the school board, including six years as chair, Ravi helped oversee the largest expansion of public education in the district's history. This included thousands of new student spaces, the construction of several schools—including PEXSISEṈ Elementary and Centre Mountain Lellum Middle School—and the development of an innovative post-secondary campus in downtown Langford. His work was guided by a determination to ensure that public infrastructure kept pace with the needs of one of British Columbia's fastest-growing communities. Ravi's connection with former Premier John Horgan began when he was still a middle-school student and invited the local MLA to speak to his class. That encounter developed into a lasting mentorship and helped inspire Ravi's journey into public life. He later worked as a constituency assistant, campaign manager, senior ministerial advisor and chief of staff within the Government of British Columbia. Through those roles, Ravi contributed to several major provincial initiatives. He helped support the development of the StrongerBC Economic Plan following the COVID-19 pandemic and worked on British Columbia's Mass Timber Action Plan, gaining valuable experience in economic development, forestry policy, innovation and the challenges facing resource-dependent communities. In June 2023, Ravi was elected MLA for Langford–Juan de Fuca in the by-election held following John Horgan's retirement from provincial politics. He was re-elected in the 2024 provincial election as the MLA for the newly established riding of Langford–Highlands. Before joining cabinet, Ravi served as Parliamentary Secretary for International Credentials. In that position, he led the implementation of British Columbia's International Credentials Recognition Act, helping reduce barriers and create clearer, fairer pathways for internationally trained professionals seeking to put their skills and experience to work in the province. Premier David Eby appointed Ravi as British Columbia's Minister of Forests in November 2024. Ravi specifically requested the forestry portfolio, recognizing the sector's deep importance to workers, families, First Nations and communities throughout the province. As minister, his priorities include restoring confidence in the sector, improving access to fibre, encouraging investment and value-added manufacturing, advancing reconciliation with First Nations, strengthening forestry-dependent communities and helping British Columbia remain a global leader in sustainable forest management.
On this week's episode of the Mongabay Newscast, we speak with features writer Ashoka Mukpo, who traveled to southeastern Liberia to investigate what satellite images indicated was a spike in deforestation over a relatively concentrated period. Along with video production coordinator Juan Maza, Mukpo documented illegal cacao plantations in the rainforests in the county of Grand Gedeh. In this interview, he explains how and why these plantations are appearing now in Liberia. "What we saw … probably the best metaphor for it is that there's a kind of gold rush happening in this part of Liberia, except it's not gold that people are after, it's cocoa," Mukpo says. "And this makes sense, given the context that in the last few years there was a huge price spike for cocoa, and this had to do with a lot of factors, including climate change and a poor harvest in Côte d'Ivoire. And so that's pushing this huge number of migrant workers from Côte d'Ivoire into Grand Gedeh." At the end of the year, the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is set to take effect. The EU legislation would ban the importation of certain commodities produced via deforestation, and one of those commodities is cocoa. And much of the cocoa being grown in Liberia right now would potentially fall under this ban, Mukpo says. Furthermore, setting up the tracking infrastructure to ensure commodities meet EUDR standards is expensive. While nations like Côte d'Ivoire have already invested in this, Liberia has not. That leaves a lot of farmers who are betting on this commodity vulnerable. "A lot of farmers are gonna suffer just from lack of clarity. And I could see a scenario where suppliers choose to just not buy from Liberia because if there's no way for them to know where these beans are coming from, they could get in a lot of trouble if they do buy, and I think that's the real concern," Mukpo says. Please take a minute to let us know what you think of our podcast here. Mike DiGirolamo is the host & producer for the Mongabay Newscast based in Sydney. Find him on LinkedIn and Bluesky.

Justin Reid, President and CEO of Troilus Mining Corp. (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF) (FSE: CM5R), joins me for a comprehensive development update on all the derisking work going on with detailed engineering, the power has been secured with Hydro Quebec, the Company has been selected by Quebec for the New Filon Initiative which will expedite permitting, and an update on near-mine and regional exploration at the Troilus Copper-Gold Project located in northcentral Quebec, Canada. Project Execution Progress Highlights Detailed Engineering fully mobilized across process plant, infrastructure, site layout, 3D modelling and procurement support. More than 40 bid packages have been issued for tender or are under technical and commercial evaluation, covering major process equipment, infrastructure, site services and enabling works. Initial enabling infrastructure selections made for key water treatment and site support systems. Major process equipment package progressing through final selection, representing an important upcoming milestone for Detailed Engineering and construction planning. Geotechnical field drilling program completed, supporting foundation design, site layout, infrastructure planning and earthworks. Independent third-party reviews of process plant design, Basic Engineering assumptions and capital cost methodology completed, with no material issues identified. On June 10, 2026, Troilus Mining announced that it recently welcomed representatives from the Government of Québec to the Troilus Copper-Gold Project in north-central Québec for the official announcement of the allocation of 70 megawatts (“MW”) of hydroelectric power to the Project. On July 27th, it was announced that the Troilus Project has been selected by Québec's Minister of Natural Resources and Forests, the Honourable Kateri Champagne Jourdain, as one of the first projects to benefit from Filon, a specialized support service established by the Government of Québec to enhance government coordination and support the advancement of strategic mining projects through the provincial permitting process. Announced as part of Québec's 2025-2031 Strategy for the Development of Critical and Strategic Minerals, Filon is designed to strengthen coordination among government ministries and agencies involved in the authorization process for qualifying projects. The specialized support provided through the Filon initiative comes amid broader efforts by the Governments of Québec and Canada to improve the efficiency, clarity and predictability of regulatory processes for major projects through a dedicated team of mining specialists, the specialized support facilitates communication between project proponents and the government ministries and agencies responsible for issuing permits and authorizations, while maintaining Québec's rigorous environmental review framework. Wrapping up we discussed the ongoing 40,000 meter drill program that has been focused on near-mine resource growth, high-grade target definition, and regional exploration across its 435 km² land package. Drilling is progressing on a combination of mine-plan optimization targets and previously identified regional opportunities.

US President Trump echoed his promise to retaliate against Canada for our wildfire smoke drifting south. It comes as more than 900 fires actively burn across the country, with a number of communities evacuated from their homes. But the severity of our wildfire season should come as no surprise given Canada's track record since 2023. Yet somehow, the response from provinces and territories doesn't reflect back-to-back record-breaking seasons. Host Maria Kestane is speaking with John Gradek, an aviation expert and professor at McGill University to discuss how Canada needs to cut jurisdictional red tape, and improve access to aerial suppression efforts.

In this episode of The Josh's Frogs Podcast, Josh talks with Aaron Capouellez from PA Woods & Forests, a traveling nonprofit conservation organization and media brand dedicated to reptile and amphibian ecology in Pennsylvania.Aaron shares the inspiring story behind Frog Week, and breaks down how he's using media, bioacoustics, and community engagement to protect native species. From educating over 2,000 students to protecting suburban frogs, Aaron proves that you don't need a massive grant or even a rainforest to make a real difference in wildlife conservation.
Healthy forests begin with better management before the next wildfire threatens wildlife, habitat, and communities. Wildfire smoke stretched across much of North America this summer, but the conversation goes far beyond poor air quality. Forest management, wildlife habitat, and the future of public lands all depend on the decisions being made today. Fred Bird sits down with CSF Senior Manager of Western States and Agriculture Policy Kent Keene to explain why the Fix Our Forests Act has become one of the most important conservation policy discussions in the country. They break down how prescribed fire, responsible timber management, and active forest restoration can reduce catastrophic wildfires while improving habitat for deer, elk, wild turkey, upland birds, and countless other wildlife species. The conversation also explores the unintended consequences of decades of fire suppression, why healthy forests require regular management, and how overcrowded timber stands create conditions for larger, hotter fires that devastate ecosystems, rural communities, and sportsmen alike.

There's no law or policy that requires Pennsylvania to keep creating new state parks. Over the history of the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources – and its various other names through the years – new state parks have been added and subtracted. There have been times when we added dozens of new state parks. Under Dr. Maurice K. Goddard, the Department of Parks and Forests – as it was called then - added 45 new state parks and 130,000 acres of land between 1955 and 1979. Dr. Goddard proposed building a state park within 25 miles of every resident of Pennsylvania.But growth to the state park system slowed down in the 1980s and 90s. The commonwealth entered a phase of improvement – focusing more on upgrading facilities than adding many more parks. We've also been in possession of a number of state parks that we eventually relinquished control to another entity. Such as Valley Forge, Independence Mall, Fort Necessity and Brandywine Battlefield. That's the thing. Depending on state leadership, availability of funds, the economy, political priorities, availability of lands and which governor is in charge, there is no guarantee that we will get new state parks. So when we get a new state park, it's important that we celebrate. Enter Laural Caverns State Park – Pennsylvania's 125th state park and its first subterranean park. What started out as a tourist attraction in the southwestern part of the state, is now a state park giving visitors a chance to explore 4 miles of underground passageways. Laurel Caverns is the largest sandstone cave in the world and one of the world's steepest caves.Guided tours provide visitors with the opportunity to walk or crawl through incredible geologic features. Most of the passage ceilings in the underground labyrinth are between ten and twenty feet high and many as high as 50 feet. This makes it the largest cave in Pennsylvania. And it now belongs to the people of Pennsylvania. How amazing is that?! On this episode I speak with Corie Eckman. Carie is the manager Laurel Caverns State Park.

Seeing images of the wildfires in Canada, I noticed fear rising. So instead of pushing the feeling away, I sat with it and found myself thinking about what years of observing the natural world have taught me about change. Nature is extraordinarily resilient. A landscape can be devastated and still hold the possibility of life. Forests change. Ecosystems adapt. Life finds a way to continue, although perhaps not in the same form that existed before. And because we are nature, I began to wonder: Is the resilience I see in the living world also something I can remember in myself? In this solo reflection, I explore what I mean when I talk about listening to nature, the difference between being smart and being wise, and the kind of hope that can emerge when we stay present with uncertainty rather than trying to immediately fix or escape it. Grounded hope isn't reassurance that everything will be okay. It's something steadier. It allows us to hold the paradox that destruction and regeneration can both be true. That grief and possibility can exist together. That we can be afraid of what is happening while still trusting in the resilience of life. When the landscape of your life changes, where do you look for hope? Maybe the Earth doesn't promise us that everything will be okay. Maybe she offers us something more honest: a reminder that life has been navigating change for a very, very long time—and that we are part of that life.

Welcome back to Wayward Stories! Tonight we are, yet again, going to embrace that Nomad Spirit, Sedentary Life energy we harnessed a couple of years back when school had me unable to go pretty much anywhere. As we talked about in the last episode, I've recently been working on some itineraries for road trips from our national historic site that would trace the historic trails set by some of the earliest explorers. So tonight, we're going to explore in the footsteps of one Edward Fitzgerald Beale, the man who “built” the first transcontinental wagon road across the U.S. I promise tonight's show won't bore you to tears with my historic predilections, because ol' Eddie Beale wasn't just blazing our nation's first transcontinental highway for horses and buggies…he was building what we become a road trip classic bucket-lister…Route 66. There will be national parks, national monuments, state parks, national historic sites, national battlefields, BLM backcountry byways, national Forests, and more! Also, camels
The smoke that's been inundating Wisconsin is impacting everything that takes a breath - including plants. Kiley Allan talks with Brent Elliot, Director at Stratford Area Fire Department EMS. He says the area is experiencing thick, poor air quality due to Canadian wildfire smoke, which was forecasted by the National Weather Service alongside high heat and humidity. Individuals with respiratory illnesses (asthma, COPD, emphysema) and cardiovascular conditions are at high risk, as poor lung oxygenation directly strains the heart and body tissues. Individuals should immediately rest if they experience "the dangerous triad": feeling winded/struggling to breathe, feeling dizzy or lightheaded (signs of low oxygenation), or experiencing heavy chest tightness. Those at risk should stay in air-conditioned indoor spaces. If outdoors, it is advised to stay hydrated, spend 15–20 minutes of every hour in shaded shelter (such as a tent or an air-conditioned vehicle), and monitor companions. Event medical staff are equipped to handle respiratory distress early with roaming teams, air-conditioned facilities, and oxygen therapy, preventing minor symptoms from escalating into emergencies. Not much smoke in our forecast today! Stu Muck says the cooler temperatures we're enjoying today also give us an air advisory break. Muck says this pattern will stick around for about 36 hours, and then it's back to more heat and potentially more smoke. Ice cream provides a nice, cool treat to break the heat of July. Teri Barr reports that it's also acting as a conversation starter for the 79th Alice in Dairyland, Anastasia Poull. Poull is using ice cream as the platform to educate consumes about Wisconsin's roll in delivering the tasty treat. Beef cattle supplies will continue to be tight into 2027. That's driving live animal prices even higher. Pam Jahnke reports that the chair of the World Ag Outlook board is expecting those prices to keep ratcheting up into 2027. One of the elements that attracts people to Wisconsin is our green space, including our forests. What you may not realize is that more than 56% of all our forests in the state are owned by private land owners. That's between 9-11 million acres. If those land owners don't have a plan on how to maintain and manage those lands, there's a problem. Kiley Allan introduces us to Tony Johnson, Forestry Outreach Specialist with UW-Madison. He says only 25% of Wisconsin woodland owners have a written forest management plan. His goal is to help others create a blueprint for getting what they want out of their woods.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Building on their recent conversations about roadless areas, and travel management, the pair hike into a section of national forest just outside of Bozeman. This specific area underwent a thinning treatment in 2022 to protect the city's water supply from catastrophic wildfire.This place offers a firsthand look at how logging and thinning can reduce wildfire risk while simultaneously creating better forage for elk and other wildlife in areas without roads. Ultimately, Randy wants to drive home the point that we can have public lands that can benefit both wildlife and people.

What happens when a feeling we assume is a universal human experience is actually shaped, defined, and even created by our specific cultural language and material conditions? Macquarie University's Future Fellow at the School of Humanities, Dr. Katie Barclay, joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the overlooked complexities of a deeply human emotion. Dr. Barclay explores the history and cultural variety of this feeling in her book, Loneliness in World History. They examine how loneliness is frequently not just an internal psychological state, but rather a reflection of our relationships with our environment, our community, and the specific language we use to make sense of our world. In this conversation they explore: How the "language trap" challenges our ability to compare emotions across cultures, and why translating words for love and loneliness requires understanding their thick cultural context. The surprising nighttime weeping rituals of the Kaluli people in Papua New Guinea, where singing about loneliness serves as a cathartic communal release of pain. Why the historical narrative of human "modernization"—moving from supposedly primitive communal selves to modern individualized subjects—carries deeply colonial and problematic assumptions. The physiological elements of isolation, including "touch hunger" and how the modern internet trend of Mukbang satiates the deep-seated desire to eat alongside a community. How physical places and material architecture—from fairy-tale forests to utopian high-rise flats and car-centric suburbs—actively teach us to feel isolated and shape our emotional experiences. The paradox of the "lonely genius," revealing how the supposedly solitary pursuit of art and creativity is fundamentally dependent on an unseen network of community support and labor. This is a conversation for anyone interested in world history, anthropology, and the humanities who wants to understand the cultural weight behind our everyday emotions and how we can navigate our increasingly isolated, digital modern age. Make sure to check out Dr. Barclay's book: Loneliness in World History
As we mark America's 250th birthday, we celebrate parts of America's enduring ecology, including our forests, national parks and other public lands. At the heart of one of Washington State's most expansive wild ecosystems is North Cascades National Park, just a three-hour drive from Seattle yet one of the lesser-known parks. Also, around 30% of the United States is federal public lands, and the biggest chunk or 245 million acres falls under the purview of the Bureau of Land Management. BLM lands are sometimes called “leftover” or “forgotten” lands, but they offer free or very cheap camping and feature a stark beauty that captivated writer and photographer Josh Jackson, author of the 2025 book, ‘The Enduring Wild: A Journey into California's Public Lands.' And when European colonists landed in North America, some of the most dramatic changes they made were to our forests. Clearcutting ran rampant, but now, on the 250th birthday of the United States, much of our forests have recovered, particularly in the Northeast. And today, maintaining our forests is vital for mitigating the effects of climate change. -- Sign up for the next virtual Living on Earth Book Club event on July 14 at 5 pm PDT / 8 pm EDT! We'll talk with Yurok activist and attorney Amy Bowers Cordalis about how multiple generations of her family have advocated for the protection of Northern California's Klamath River, a crucial habitat for salmon and the lifeblood of the Yurok tribe.

In this episode, we sit down with Elspeth Hay, Cape Cod journalist and author of Feed Us with Trees, to explore how we can solve our collective separation from nature through the power of tree crops. We dive deep into her journey from learning the “no farms, no food” mantra in childhood to the paradigm-shifting realization that our surrounding forests are actually overflowing with staple foods like acorns. Elspeth deconstructs historical narratives like the term "hunter-gatherer" and the concept of "enclosure," arguing that modern industrial farming models were built upon a violent legacy of privatizing land and erasing highly managed indigenous food systems. The conversation highlights how traditional communities managed ecological resources collectively through the "Commons" and specific cultural rituals. Finally, we discuss how local communities can reverse the "shifting baseline syndrome," her advice on cultivating ecological joy and rituals for the next generation, and her vision of a future rooted in regional food resilience and connection to community and place.

Trey Reid hosts Congressman Bruce Westerman, Arkansas's 4th District representative and chair of the Natural Resources Committee, to talk hunting, fishing, and forest conservation. Westerman shares his rural Garland County upbringing hunting squirrels, rabbits, quail, dove, turkeys, deer, and raccoons, his introduction to duck hunting in Stuttgart, and why turkey hunting is his favorite, including filling his limit during Arkansas's highest turkey harvest in 20 years. He discusses crappie fishing on Lake Ouachita and how habitat like brush piles attracts fish. Westerman explains why timber harvest, thinning, and controlled burns create early successional habitat, improve biodiversity, and reduce insects, disease, and catastrophic wildfire, citing Forest Service restoration work and red-cockaded woodpecker habitat. He describes losing 20% of giant sequoias to wildfire, outlines the Save Our Sequoias Act and Fix Our Forest Act, and emphasizes healthy forests for clean air, clean water, and outdoor recreation.
Today, we’re bringing you the best from newsrooms throughout the Northwest. Bosnia and Herzegovina fans celebrated as their national soccer team made history in Seattle this week. The country made it the furthest they’ve been in the World Cup. Northwest News Network contributor Grace Madigan has more about what it means to the Bosnian community in the Northwest. Tiny, pocket forests are sprouting up all around Washington state. On old, abandoned fields and in people’s backyards. These forests are meant to mimic nature and to grow quickly. It also helps increase biodiversity. NWPB’s Courtney Flatt takes us to one of the Yakama Nation’s mini-forests. American pikas are an ’indicator species.’ If they’re doing OK, there’s a good chance the local ecosystem is doing OK. That’s one reason why the Oregon Zoo and other groups are looking for people this summer to go out and count pikas. OPB’s Kristian Foden-Vencil has the story.

What if nature isn't somewhere we go, but something we live within? In this conversation, I sit down with Nevin Harper—counselor, professor, outdoor educator, and co-author of Nature-Based Therapy and Kids These Days—to explore how the environments we inhabit shape our wellbeing, relationships, and sense of belonging. Growing up in northern Canada, Nevin experienced nature not as a destination, but as the backdrop of everyday life. Forests, wildlife, long winters, and wide-open landscapes were simply part of being human. It wasn't until he left home that he realized many people experience nature very differently. Together, we explore nature-based counseling, the role of outdoor experiences in human development, why environments matter, and how nature can support connection, reflection, and healing. We also discuss Nevin's work with young people, the stories adults tell about "kids these days," and the powerful influence of the worlds we create for future generations. Throughout the conversation, one idea continues to surface: our relationship with nature is deeply shaped by the environments we grow up in—and by the environments we choose to create. If you've ever wondered what it means to live in relationship with nature rather than simply visit it, this conversation offers a thoughtful place to begin.

Before there were relationships, there was adaptation. Before there were marriages, there was adaptation. Before there were families, civilizations, languages, philosophies, religions, identities, cultures, nations, and histories, there was adaptation. Existence itself rests upon a single uncompromising principle: Everything that lives must continuously adjust to what is. Nothing receives exemption. Stars adapt to gravitational forces. Forests adapt to seasons. Species adapt to environments. Consciousness adapts to experience. Life itself survives through perpetual negotiation with reality. Only the human ego attempts a different strategy. It attempts permanence. It attempts certainty. It attempts preservation. It attempts to freeze living things into familiar forms and then calls that stability. This may explain one of the greatest tragedies in intimate relationships. Many people do not fall in love with a person. They fall in love with a version. A snapshot. A moment. A psychological photograph taken during a particular season of someone's evolution. Years later they discover the photograph has changed. The ambitions changed. The fears changed. The values changed. The body changed. The dreams changed. The identity changed. And suddenly what should have been expected feels like betrayal. Not because transformation occurred. Because transformation was never included in the original agreement. The relationship begins suffering from a silent disease. Not incompatibility. Not conflict. Not communication problems. The disease is the expectation that life should stop moving. Yet life never agreed to such a contract. Every intimate relationship eventually becomes a confrontation with the most fundamental law of existence: Nothing living remains the same. The deepest form of love may therefore have very little to do with possession, agreement, compatibility, romance, chemistry, or even commitment. It may involve something far more difficult. Participation. The willingness to remain present while another human being becomes. Not who you expected. Not who you prefer. Not who you originally chose. But who life is continuously revealing. This is where rigidity enters the story. Most people misunderstand rigidity. Rigidity is not strength. Rigidity is fear attempting to negotiate with impermanence. A boundary protects what is essential. Rigidity protects what is familiar. A boundary serves growth. Rigidity resists growth. A boundary preserves integrity. Rigidity preserves certainty. One creates intimacy. The other slowly suffocates it. The irony feels almost unbearable. Many people spend years defending what they call standards, principles, values, self-respect, masculinity, femininity, tradition, or boundaries. Underneath the language often sits something much older. Fear. The fear that adaptation will require grief. Because adaptation always demands the death of something. A belief. An expectation. A certainty. An identity. A story. A version of ourselves. A version of our partner. Love therefore asks for a sacrifice few people anticipate. Not the sacrifice of self. The sacrifice of illusion. The illusion that the person beside you can remain unchanged while everything else in existence continues evolving. This becomes even more complicated when childhood wounds enter the relationship. An abandoned child becomes an adult demanding certainty. A neglected child becomes an adult demanding emotional guarantees. A rejected child becomes an adult demanding constant validation. The wound incurs the debt. The partner receives the invoice. What began as pain becomes expectation. Expectation becomes entitlement. Entitlement becomes rigidity. Rigidity becomes relational gravity. The relationship slowly bends around old injuries rather than present reality. Two people stop meeting each other. They begin negotiating with ghosts. One partner speaks from today. The other responds from twenty years ago. One partner changes. The other interprets the change as abandonment. One partner evolves. The other experiences evolution as betrayal. Neither understands the actual conflict. The argument appears relational. The conflict is ontological. Reality keeps moving. Someone is trying to stop it. Daoist philosophy recognized this thousands of years ago. Water never argues with the riverbed. Water never demands permanence. Water never mistakes form for essence. It changes continuously while remaining completely itself. Rain. Mist. Ice. River. Ocean. Different expressions. Same nature. Healthy love functions the same way. Its essence remains while its expression evolves. The couples who survive decades together may not possess superior communication skills. They may not possess superior compatibility. They may simply understand a truth that many never discover: Love is not measured by how tightly you hold on. Love is measured by how truthfully you participate in another person's becoming. Can you update your understanding as quickly as life updates the person you love? Can you release outdated versions of them before resentment builds a shrine around them? Can you remain curious where others become certain? Can you remain present where others become controlling? Can you bless evolution where others call it betrayal? Because eventually every intimate relationship arrives at the same doorway. On one side stands certainty. On the other stands life. You cannot hold both. The person who chooses certainty eventually loses intimacy. The person who chooses life discovers that adaptation was never the enemy. Adaptation was love's highest form of intelligence. And perhaps its most sacred expression.
Before there were relationships, there was adaptation. Before there were marriages, there was adaptation. Before there were families, civilizations, languages, philosophies, religions, identities, cultures, nations, and histories, there was adaptation. Existence itself rests upon a single uncompromising principle: Everything that lives must continuously adjust to what is. Nothing receives exemption. Stars adapt to gravitational forces. Forests adapt to seasons. Species adapt to environments. Consciousness adapts to experience. Life itself survives through perpetual negotiation with reality. Only the human ego attempts a different strategy. It attempts permanence. It attempts certainty. It attempts preservation. It attempts to freeze living things into familiar forms and then calls that stability. This may explain one of the greatest tragedies in intimate relationships. Many people do not fall in love with a person. They fall in love with a version. A snapshot. A moment. A psychological photograph taken during a particular season of someone's evolution. Years later they discover the photograph has changed. The ambitions changed. The fears changed. The values changed. The body changed. The dreams changed. The identity changed. And suddenly what should have been expected feels like betrayal. Not because transformation occurred. Because transformation was never included in the original agreement. The relationship begins suffering from a silent disease. Not incompatibility. Not conflict. Not communication problems. The disease is the expectation that life should stop moving. Yet life never agreed to such a contract. Every intimate relationship eventually becomes a confrontation with the most fundamental law of existence: Nothing living remains the same. The deepest form of love may therefore have very little to do with possession, agreement, compatibility, romance, chemistry, or even commitment. It may involve something far more difficult. Participation. The willingness to remain present while another human being becomes. Not who you expected. Not who you prefer. Not who you originally chose. But who life is continuously revealing. This is where rigidity enters the story. Most people misunderstand rigidity. Rigidity is not strength. Rigidity is fear attempting to negotiate with impermanence. A boundary protects what is essential. Rigidity protects what is familiar. A boundary serves growth. Rigidity resists growth. A boundary preserves integrity. Rigidity preserves certainty. One creates intimacy. The other slowly suffocates it. The irony feels almost unbearable. Many people spend years defending what they call standards, principles, values, self-respect, masculinity, femininity, tradition, or boundaries. Underneath the language often sits something much older. Fear. The fear that adaptation will require grief. Because adaptation always demands the death of something. A belief. An expectation. A certainty. An identity. A story. A version of ourselves. A version of our partner. Love therefore asks for a sacrifice few people anticipate. Not the sacrifice of self. The sacrifice of illusion. The illusion that the person beside you can remain unchanged while everything else in existence continues evolving. This becomes even more complicated when childhood wounds enter the relationship. An abandoned child becomes an adult demanding certainty. A neglected child becomes an adult demanding emotional guarantees. A rejected child becomes an adult demanding constant validation. The wound incurs the debt. The partner receives the invoice. What began as pain becomes expectation. Expectation becomes entitlement. Entitlement becomes rigidity. Rigidity becomes relational gravity. The relationship slowly bends around old injuries rather than present reality. Two people stop meeting each other. They begin negotiating with ghosts. One partner speaks from today. The other responds from twenty years ago. One partner changes. The other interprets the change as abandonment. One partner evolves. The other experiences evolution as betrayal. Neither understands the actual conflict. The argument appears relational. The conflict is ontological. Reality keeps moving. Someone is trying to stop it. Daoist philosophy recognized this thousands of years ago. Water never argues with the riverbed. Water never demands permanence. Water never mistakes form for essence. It changes continuously while remaining completely itself. Rain. Mist. Ice. River. Ocean. Different expressions. Same nature. Healthy love functions the same way. Its essence remains while its expression evolves. The couples who survive decades together may not possess superior communication skills. They may not possess superior compatibility. They may simply understand a truth that many never discover: Love is not measured by how tightly you hold on. Love is measured by how truthfully you participate in another person's becoming. Can you update your understanding as quickly as life updates the person you love? Can you release outdated versions of them before resentment builds a shrine around them? Can you remain curious where others become certain? Can you remain present where others become controlling? Can you bless evolution where others call it betrayal? Because eventually every intimate relationship arrives at the same doorway. On one side stands certainty. On the other stands life. You cannot hold both. The person who chooses certainty eventually loses intimacy. The person who chooses life discovers that adaptation was never the enemy. Adaptation was love's highest form of intelligence. And perhaps its most sacred expression.
Healthy forests help combat climate change, provide humans with drinking water and even improve mental and physical health. But it's hard to imagine an entire forest in the middle of a big city. That's where micro-forests come into play — public forests on a smaller scale, filled with native plants. They exist around the world, and producer Rachel Carlson went to visit the largest micro-forest in California in this encore episode. She joins host Emily Kwong to chat about what she saw.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Forests are often described as peaceful places—full of quiet beauty, hidden trails, and the feeling that something magical may be waiting just beyond the trees.For Jay Gridley, that feeling turned out to be terrifyingly real.As a young boy exploring the woods near his childhood home, Jay realized he wasn't alone out there. Hidden among the trees and winding paths was a group of strange playmates who seemed just as fascinated by him as he was by them. At first, they felt like ordinary childhood companions. But over time, Jay began to understand there was something deeply unusual about the children he encountered in the forest.Were they spirits? Lost souls? Or something even stranger?In Part One of this chilling conversation, Jay shares the experiences that shaped his lifelong connection to the paranormal, the unseen presence that seemed tied to the woods, and why some friendships may continue long after death.You may never look at a quiet forest the same way again.#TheGraveTalks #GhostStories #Paranormal #HauntedForest #Spirits #Supernatural #ShadowPeople #ParanormalPodcast #UnexplainedMysteries #HauntingsLove real ghost stories?

For much of history, tree canopies were pretty much completely ignored by science. It was as if researchers said collectively, "It's just going to be empty up there, and we've got our hands full studying the trees down here! So why bother?" But then around the mid-1980s, a few ecologists around the world got curious and started making their way up into the treetops using any means necessary (ropes, cranes, hot air dirigibles) to document all they could find. It didn't take long for them to realize not only was the forest canopy not empty, it was absolutely filled to the brim with life. You've heard of treehouses? How about tree gardens?! This week, we bring you a story we first released in 2022. We journey up into the sky and discover forests above the forest. We learn about the secret powers of these sky gardens from ecologist Korena Mafune, and we follow Nalini Nadkarni as she makes a ground-breaking discovery that changes how we understand what trees are capable of. P.S. This episode is a layer cake of arboreal surprises (including the reappearance of a certain retired host. LATERAL CUTS:From Tree to Shining Tree (https://zpr.io/4cHtDdYTuNxT): The episode that started this journey, where we look down instead of up. EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Annie McEwen Produced by - Annie McEwen EPISODE CITATIONS: Videos - Inside the Fight to Save an Ancient Forest (and the Secrets it Holds) (https://zpr.io/XKipP2z4NFiM), by Michael Werner, Joe Hanson, and the PBS Overview team. We first learned about the magical world of the canopy from this beautiful video. It features Korena Mafune's research up in the treetops, as well as the people who have dedicated their lives to saving what's left of the old growth forests. We highly recommend checking it out!
