First of let me start by wishing you all well during the horrible events from COVID-19. I hope you are safe & unaffected. We have had to change the structure of our episodes due to the rightful limitations of social distancing & isolation. For the foreseeable future, we will be presenting Extra Wild shows. These will be telephone interviews with animal & wildlife charities, organisations, presenters & experts. On this show, I spoke with the Head of Living Collections for the Wildfowl & Wetland Trust, Marc Boardman. We spoke about the importance of managing & conserving wetland centers & reserves, what kind of wildlife you can find at these sites & how WWT are managing during the current global pandemic.

In this episode I will be talking about living collections including the Puratos World Heritage Sourdough Library and Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Get ready to taste the history!

As a longtime staff member at Smithsonian Gardens, Cindy Brown has been involved in a wide array of community outreach and educational programming in the nation’s capital. She has worked diligently to ensure that people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities feel comfortable and empowered in a horticultural landscape. In this episode we explore the challenges and rewards associated with greening the city, working with volunteers, and bringing Smithsonian Gardens into the lives of people everywhere. --- Glossary of terms used in this episode: “Gerontology” - defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as “the comprehensive study of aging and the problems of the aged.” “Green Spaces” - most often this refers to densely planted spaces in cities, which usually contrast with the paved and/or developed spaces that characterize urban landscapes. Green Space could include a park, bike trail, arboretum or public garden. “Stewardship” - the practice of taking responsibility for protecting, preserving or improving a place or property. Stewards are often volunteers. “Living Collections” - in botany and horticulture, this refers to plants and specimens that are catalogued and made available for scientific research and public exhibits. “Natural History” - in this context, it refers to the National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC, which was founded in 1910 and is administered by the Smithsonian Institution.

At the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences there are year-round collections of living things...20-year old snakes, 12-year old salamanders, rare turtles, seldom-seen fish, native moths, and giant grasshoppers. This collection is often the first contact with living, native animals for visiting school children. Each has to be cared for & feed just the right foods within the right conditions.

Spartina marshes behind our barrier islands--once considered wastelands--are now believed to be the most valuable and productive lands in North Carolinas. The marshes are nursery, storm buffer, and the beginning of the "cafeteria line" for most of the finfish and shellfish found on the North Carolina coast. ENC takes you on an unforgettable visit to Tar Heel salt marshes with the people who know.
