Through my work, I'm interested in connecting more unlikely individuals to conservation that might benefit from an alternative understanding of the impacts of climate change and solutions that address the disparities in conservation education and conservation access.  More on this is future works and podcast episodes. Pre-Show   We've been having incredible success on both public and private land hunts this season.  A record season to be totally honest, with a recent (estimated) 60 birds flushed, totaling 6 coveys and a number of singles pointed and flushed.  Additionally, we made roughly 143 contacts with a total of 10 coveys this past MLK Day.  My young dogs are getting great early exposure to wild birds and their development has been consistent and impressive each time, starting with my young Setter, Rosalee who had a great find on a crippled bird that got away from us and a beautiful point on a large, 20 bird covey.  Jughead has also gotten in a great number of great points and even got a retrieve on a downed bird that ran into a hole.  He dug that bird out and got it back to me.  To add to the surprise, Dawson and I both shot banded quail on public land which was honestly my goal this season.  So now I proudly rock a quail band on my lanyard.   I am also currently working on a screening/premiere for the DOGMEN film down in Thomasville.  Christian Fitchtel over at OnX had the incredible idea to go above and beyond and get the film on a large screen in addition to showing it online.  Stay tuned for those details soon.   Also, I am reading Robert Franks' book, Across the Prairies, and will also have him on the podcast when I finish reading it. A description of the book reads:    Famous dogs and handlers come alive in this collection of interviews, articles, and fiction from the pen of Robert Franks. Written for the bird dog and field trial community, many of the memories contained within these pages would be lost forever if not for the efforts of the author to collect and preserve important pieces of field trial history.  From famous dogs, scouts and handlers, to stories and fiction as only the author can tell it. Sit back and enjoy reading about the sport we love. Also, I am reading Sue Tidwell' book, Cries from the Savannah, and will also have him on the podcast when I finish reading it. A description of the book reads:  About the Episode/ Guest(s)   This is the 3rd installment of the Land & Lore lecture and interview series at the 2021 Thomasville Center of the Arts' Wildlife Arts Festival.  In the episode, we discuss the origins of the ARI on the Aucilla River and their relationship with the Smithsonian Museum.  There is the concern that we have raised a number of generations of citizens here who are disconnected from nature.  Dr. Jim Dunbar talks about finding artifacts in the Aucilla River, giving a “Whitman's Sampler” of what the world looked like during the pleistocene period of the Americas, specifically, here in the Southeast.  Dunbar talks about the various species of animals that existed during the time and their effects on the landscape and on the habitat of the region.  So join us again for another highly informative episode from another presenter at the 2021 Wildlife Arts Festival and learn more about how our native landscape has changed over many thousands of years since the Pleistocene.   You can also find the powerpoint to the episode in the show notes.   https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17fjtnPYNG4Co6CL4f0rrGmZPr1T_An-R/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103530155952530236713&rtpof=true&sd=true POST-SHOW NOTES Robert Franks- Across the Prairies  https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/robert-franks/across-the-prairies/hardcover/product-g562zr.html?fbclid=IwAR2XqoDorNI0r6oigj2s-apWO_tKORVCJKs2ncDcEIaFIYK-bBTXBmtHXpQ&page=1&pageSize=4 Current Conservation News To be addressed on a future episode with friend and colleague, AJ DeRosa: https://projectupland.com/hunting-policy/recovering-americas-wildlife-breaking-down-rawa-its-benefits-for-upland-birds/ To be addressed on the Upcoming Quail Forever Land & Lore Lecture: https://projectupland.com/quail-subspecies/bobwhite-quail-hunting/public-land-bobwhite-quail-hunting-strategies/ https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aat1869 Archived Conservation News References https://www.cjonline.com/story/news/2021/08/12/lesser-prairie-chicken-caught-between-commerce-conservation-kansas/5508372001/ https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/cop26-climate-summit-intl-11-01-21/index.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/31/climate/climate-change-biden-cop26.html?auth=login-google1tap&login=google1tap https://coloradosun.com/2021/10/29/federal-oil-and-gas-leases-climate-change/?mc_cid=b86c7173b0&mc_eid=4c0527c473 https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/11/02/world/cop26-glasgow-climate-summit Other Interest Notes: https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/23/world/australopithecus-sediba-intl-scli-scn/index.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=igbioCNN&utm_content=2021-11-23T20:32:46  

Our Outside EP02: Academics and R3 with Breanna Bashford of Georgia Wildlife Federation We thank our partners: Eukanuba Sporting Dog, Pheasants Forever/ Quail Forever, S.Kent Rockwell Foundation, Theodore Roosevelt Conservation partnership, The Sporting Life Notebook In this episode, Breanna Bashford, Ashley, and Durrell discuss a number of key questions that we think may give our growing audience context and clarity on what it means to Bring the Unlikely to the Active Outdoors, while simultaneously defining what the active, sporting outdoors means for the greater community of Georgia's residents. Throughout the episode, we hope to give you a glimpse into our future plans and partnership initiatives with the Georgia Wildlife Federation to continue creating conversations that will lead to more diversity, equity, and inclusion in the active outdoors, and encourage more communities of color to participate in the conversation of land and water conservation. On the next Episode of OUR OUTSIDE, we will continue to dive into the conservation conversations in communities of color. For supporting material from our discussion, take a look through our show notes for links and references. We will release episodes of OUR OUTSIDE bi-weekly, with guests sharing their vast knowledge and experiences advocating for diversity in our active outdoor communities, so please subscribe to our podcast, and visit us at minorityoutdooralliance.org. And while you're there, donate to the Alliance and our initiatives. We again, want to thank you for tuning in, and helping us continue Bringing the Unlikely to the Active, Sporting Outdoors.

Todd Holbrook, the new President and CEO of the Georgia Wildlife Federation. Holbrook, of Conyers, comes to GWF after a 27-year career with Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR), including stints as Assistant Director of the Wildlife Resources Division and Chief of Game Management. A certified wildlife biologist, Holbrook was responsible for several groundbreaking studies in Georgia into the decline, recruitment and retention of hunting and angling participation. “The Georgia Wildlife Federation has always been - since I’ve been interacting with them - about sound, scientific wildlife management. Professional wildlife management. How we go about making these wildlife policy decisions. And that’s huge. Because people sometimes get shunted off on what’s convenient and resource decisions need to be made out of the foundation of science.” During his career withe the DNR, Holbrook applied the curiosity of a trained wildlife biologist to study the broader social and economic aspects of wildlife management in Georgia. Cox Enterprises is a leading communications, media and automotive services company. Launched in 2007 by Chairman Jim Kennedy, Cox Conserves is Cox Enterprises' national sustainability program. Cox Conserves focuses on reducing waste and energy consumption, as well as conserving water. The program engages each of the company's major subsidiaries (Cox Communications, Manheim, Cox Media Group and AutoTrader.com) and encourages Cox Enterprises' 50,000 employees and their families to engage in eco-friendly practices.
