Property Law What is Property? Property is a legally protected interest in something tangible or intangible. It can be classified into real property (land and attachments) and personal property (movable items and intangible rights). The Bundle of Rights Theory views property rights as a collection of individual rights, including possessing, using, excluding others from, and transferring ownership. History of Property Law Property law originated from English common law and developed through feudalism, market economies, and American colonial history. The feudal system transitioned into a system of private ownership. In American history, property law played a role in nation-building (Homestead Act of 1862) but was also used to dispossess Native Americans and justify slavery.

Amanda is an Australian park Ranger whose career has taken her from the turquoise blue coast of South Australia to the broad red deserts of Central Australia and now the subtropical rainforests of the East Coast. She loves having the best job in the world in which she gets the opportunity to fight fires, monitor threatened species, use chainsaws and heavy machinery (aka fun toys), audit and hike long distance trails, occasionally fly across the landscape in a helicopter, and (the greatest privilege of all) work with Traditional Owners looking after Country. Well, that and clean toilets of course, can't leave that out. Inspired by the many Rangers she has worked with in her career, and with no film making or expedition experience, Amanda set off on a new mission on World Ranger Day (July 31) last year called Walking the Thin Green Line Oceania.  Over 366 days, through 8 nations and across 3 oceans, Amanda will travel over 80,000km meeting Rangers and recording their stories in a documentary.  She will also hike more than 1500km to honour the more than 1500 Rangers killed in the line of duty since official records began in 2009.  Amanda will be raising vital funds for the Thin Green Line Foundation's Oceania Fund to support Ranger led projects around the Oceania region. Amanda will complete her epic self-funded journey on World Ranger Day this year on the southernmost point of mainland Australia at Wilson's promontory National Park after more than 35,000km of driving, close to 200 Ranger interviews, more than 25 terabytes of footage, dozens of walking trails and peaks, over 30 flights, more than a dozen boats and ferries, 8 sim cards, 2 Garmin inReach's and more illnesses than you can count on one hand. *** Don't miss out on new episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast that are released every Tuesday at 7am UK time!

Dimitry, Enduring Planet Co-Founder, speaks to Green Planet Blue Planet about the fund's support for various projects from software with indirect impacts to planting trees with very explicit impacts. He speaks to the profound impact of tax incentives included in the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act to catalyze transformative decarbonization. Rather than necessitating a complete overhaul of existing economic and energy systems, Dimitry said by altering the economic dynamics, the tax incentive has become one of the most influential pieces of climate legislation in the US, fostering the largest expansion of clean energy investment in the nation's history. While some might have hoped for radical disruption, the government's approach to supporting decarbonization focuses on incentivizing clean energy deployment within the current framework. While it is laudable to have large decarbonization goals,  Dimitry explains that for Enduring Planet, all initiatives are considered, as can be seen in their portfolio case studies. The impact metrics across businesses may be dramatically different, but it's all within their climate finance scope - from water to energy to waste. By design, every dollar they put to work is having an impact. Enduring Planet offers rapid financing without dilution, personal guarantees, or collateral. It is climate focused for impactful teams, big or small, working across mitigation, removal, adaptation, and resilience to address the climate crisis. They provide two products now, Revenue Based Financing and Climate Grant Advances for government backing to be repaid once the funding is received. Join Dimitry and Julian in this discussion of the nature of the work in a new climate economy, “where every business is a climate business.” The two explore the idea of dismantling capitalism and incentives for extractive structures that are misaligned with climate change. Learn more about Dimitry and how he came to his ecological conclusions while working in Honduras with the Peace Corps, addressing questions such as how to restore damaged ecosystems and bring the planet back to a healthy, happy place, only to determine what motivates him is love of people and a desire for equity and accessibility to services and principles of conservation. #About Dimitry Gershenson Dimitry co-founded Enduring Planet, building on his 10+ years of experience across climate tech, operations, and impact investing. Prior to Enduring Planet, Dimitry led M&A and served as COO for Rango Wireless, an Enduring Ventures portfolio company. Before that, Dimitry built Meta's Energy Access program, a $15M+ investing initiative that enabled energy access for 3M people and unlocked nearly $500M in additional capital in underserved markets like Kenya and India. While at Meta, Dimitry also led the development of multiple predictive ML products in the cleantech space and built corporate accelerator programs for impact startups in India and Puerto Rico. Outside of Enduring Planet, Dimitry sits on the board of Ecosafi, a Lower carbon-backed climate startup enabling clean cooking in emerging markets. Dimitry holds an MS in Energy and Resources from UC Berkeley, a BS in Natural Resource Management from Rutgers University. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/julian-guderley/support

On a mild summer's evening, Pat Wiggin met for Shared Ground to give us a window into the world of forestry on private lands in Nova Scotia (within Mi'kma'ki). Discussed in this episode are some of the programs that exist to support people and forest ecosystems, and the exciting emerging option of working forest easements (through the Nova Scotia Working Woodlands Trust). Also, hear thoughts on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification and related questions: If there was more transparency about where forest products came from, what would people choose to purchase? And in Pat's words, "What if wood had more of a story to tell?"The conversation also touches on the local energy market, including important considerations on the use of biomass for heating.Pat Wiggin was raised in the Halifax Regional Municipality and first became interested in Natural Resource Management while studying Environmental Science at Mount Allison University. He funded his education by tree planting in the wilds of northern British Columbia and eventually decided to go back to school where he obtained a Forestry Technology diploma at the Maritime College of Forest Technology in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and has since held positions within various organizations, providing forest management, support, and advocacy to Nova Scotia's small, private woodland owners.EPISODE RESOURCESNova Scotia Working Woodlands TrustFederation of Nova Scotia Woodland OwnersForest Innovation ProgramThe Lahey report pdf (An Independent Review of Forestry Practices in Nova Scotia)Forest Innovation Voucher through NSCCWestern Woodland Cooperative ServiceForest Steward Certification (FSC)Maritime College of Forest TechnologyNatural Resources Environmental Technology program at NSCCSave Our Old Forests campaign: website on FacebookSOOFStock music festival 2023

Forest School Learning Guests Diana Brennan and Lindsey Baillargeron, Educators and Founders, Northern Rhode Island Forest School Forest Schools have roots that reach back to the open-air culture, seen as a way of life in Scandinavia. It is a long-term child-centered learning process that happens naturally through play, exploration and supported risk taking. It develops confidence and self-esteem through learner inspired, hands-on experiences in a natural setting. Forest School Learning is a timely topic that can help support the new Learning Inside Out Outdoor Classroom Initiatives happening in public and charter schools. Many schools have received grants to create, enhance and support access to natural resources for all students in the form of outdoor classrooms or schoolyard habitats. Teachers are seeking outdoor teaching strategies that will actively engage children and improve their language literacy, math, science, creative and critical thinking skill development and this episode will support and inspire that process. Diana Brennan has a B.S. in environmental science and has worked as a wetland scientist for the past 20 years. She has experience with habitat assessments, restoration projects and sustainable development. She possesses a deep understanding of Rhode Island's natural resources. She is trained as a Level 3 Forest School Leader through Forest Schools Education, an internationally recognized program. Earning this certification gives Diana the skills and experience to guide learners safely and effectively. Having experienced first-hand the power of nature to help us heal, grow and learn, Diana is determined to counter “nature deficit disorder” by getting children and adults off of the screens and into the woods. Lindsey Baillargeron was a classroom teacher for 14 years, having taught middle school and high school English. She earned her Master's in English from Harvard University and studied education reform and its effect on British novels. Lindsey is currently pursuing her second masters degree to become a k-12 reading specialist at Lesley University. She is focusing on language skills children need to understand texts in different disciplines. Lindsey is trained as a Level 1 Forest School Assistant, and she will be sharing how she found her way into Forest School teaching and how it enhances her effectiveness in teaching language arts.

Today we finish with part 3 as I continue the conversation with Chad Wilson talking about Utah's Cooperative Wildlife Management Units (CWMUs) and how they are a unique and innovative approach to wildlife conservation and management. These units are designed to involve private landowners in the management of wildlife populations and habitats on their lands, while also providing hunting opportunities for the public. Through cooperative efforts between state wildlife agencies, landowners, and hunters, CWMUs aim to enhance wildlife habitat, promote sustainable hunting practices, and foster partnerships between stakeholders. In this episode, we will delve into the history, purpose, and benefits of CWMUs in Utah, and explore how this collaborative approach is contributing to wildlife conservation and management in the state.   Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/paul-yudin/your-adrenaline License code: QWS1TG5BYTFK2PCL

I had the opportunity to sit down with Chad Wilson and discuss a program used by the UDWR to promote access to private lands and promote tolerance for wildlife in private lands.

"The beauty of upcycling is that it can apply to every stage of the supply chain, from the farm level all the way down to consumers… It's really a mind shift on how we think about food and what is edible and what isn't." —Angie Crone   The global food waste epidemic is no longer a secret. Each year, billions of tons of food are wasted globally, including tons of perfectly edible produce that are lost even before they can reach homes, stores, and eateries. Thankfully, upcycling is now seen as a sustainable way to accelerate innovation and reduce food waste.    Upcycling is a creative approach to turning food waste and food products that may otherwise go to waste into something useful and profitable. Not only does this save food, but it also reduces environmental impacts. With upcycling, we can rethink how we view what is waste and what's being wasted.    In this episode, Justine sits with Angie Crone, the Interim CEO of Upcycled Food Association (UFA). The organization's work is driven by a powerful mission to turn the most authentic economic movement into quantifiable success for upcycled food businesses. To this end, the organization has created the Upcycled Food Standard, a traceable, transparent label for upcycled foods, to identify and certify products that are using upcycled ingredients.    By joining their network of certified business, members can gain a competitive advantage and be seen as credible and trustworthy. Currently, their membership network is made up of upcycled food businesses from 20 countries around the world - from small artisan businesses to large multinationals companies and academic institutions.    Listen in as Justine and Angie talk about the role of upcycling in achieving nutritional security, accelerating innovation through upcycling, differentiating waste and food that's being wasted, the benefits of being Upcycle Certified, and much much more! Meet Angie:  Angie Crone is the Interim CEO Of Upcycled Food Association. A highly creative and motivated change-maker, she holds the ability to build purpose-driven programs from the ground up and shepherd them through the entire implementation process with success.    With great insight into the needs of the organization and its end users, Angie is well-versed in designing value-adding programs, building lasting relationships and ensuring everyone is invested in the process. She has also been part of human rights and environmental standards and frameworks, delivering high-value initiatives, and leading cross-functional teams. Her passion and drive, combined with a dynamic and motivating approach, have enabled her to successfully reach goals time and time again. Her educational background is quite impressive. She holds a Master of Public Administration from Columbia University, a Graduate Certificate in Emergency and Disaster Management from American Military University, and a Bachelor of Science in Natural Resource Management from Shepherd University.    Website Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn YouTube Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram  LinkedIn YouTube Episode Highlights: 02:41 The UFA Journey 06:33 Accelerating Innovation Through Upcycling 10:32 Rethinking Food Waste 14:46 The Benefits of Being Upcycle Certified 18:20 Road to 300

This week, we welcome Don Wood to share his story of falling in love with San Diego, one surf session at a time. Don discusses a few of his key takeaways from working with SDG&E, the Community Action Partnership, and C-3. He talks about the climate of natural resource management in San Diego in the 1980s, and a few of the battles still being fought today. Don shares a few of C-3's biggest accomplishments that he is most proud of, and what we need to move forward with even more strength and purpose in the future.   Timestamps: [3:14] Don talks about how he got to San Diego, his education, and most importantly, the great surfing that made him fall in love with San Diego. After working for the county, he got a job at SDG&E. [8:47] C-3 was Don's first engagement in policy and land use issues in San Diego. How did he make his way to C-3? [9:02] When working for the Community Action Partnership, Don learned a lot about advocacy on behalf of low-income communities, economic development, and community. [9:24] Don describes the concept of natural resource management, and what the climate was in San Diego around that issue in the 1980s. Why was there tension between natural resource management and development as it relates to the San Diego Bay? [11:19] There is a constant war going on between the side that wants to preserve the environment and the development side. [21:21] One topic of importance at C-3 is the concept of ecotourism. What exactly is the job to get “heads in beds,” and why does cultivating a healthy tourism market matter? [30:28] Don shares what he thinks are a few of C-3's biggest achievements, including Temporary Paradise and the creation of SANDAG. [37:23] How was the public successfully convinced to support Proposition 70? What were some tactics used to advocate for The California Parks and Wildlife Preservation Act? [41:41] Don discusses what he thinks the next generation of planners and activities will face in San Diego, and how C-3 can provide education and assistance. [43:07] C-3 should be friends with the developers at BIA and friends with the Sierra Club and Environmental Health Coalition. [43:41] An organization of organizations and a network of networks, that's really what you're really trying to get set up. But don't let C-3 get lost in the mix, Don warns.   About C-3 In its 60 years of existence, Citizens Coordinate for Century 3 (C-3) has brought together local thought leaders from planning, design, policy, academia, community development, and more to address our region's distinctive and pressing land use challenges. In founding C-3 almost 60 years ago, architect Lloyd Ruocco's vision was to bring together our region's most creative minds from the arts, sciences, academia, and government to share ideas, learn new perspectives, and build fellowship around the idea of creating livable communities.   Opportunities for Advocacy and Engagement: C3sandiego.org Phil Pryde San Diego Sierra Club San Diego River Improvement Project National Environmental Policy Act California Environmental Quality Act

Although agroecosystems now dominate the terrestrial world, we have a limited understanding of how their origin and culture shape agrobiodiversity and its functioning. By studying these processes in Mexico, a major center of crop origin, we have been focused on understanding how people shape agrobiodiversity and the implications for sustainable agriculture. Since seed systems structure how people acquire seeds, changes in social context influence evolutionary processes within agroecosystems. Since the middle of the 20th century, major changes have occurred that have effectively limited farmer selection for locally-adapted crops. We propose that smallholder farmers play a central but underappreciated role in the management of eco-evolutionary processes in agroecosystems, which form the basis for sustainable agriculture under changing climates. Yolanda grew up in Illinois and New Jersey, where she developed a concern about human impacts on the natural world. As an undergraduate student, she majored in Natural Resource Management at Cook College, which was the Agricultural and Environmental School of Rutgers University. She helped start the two-acre Cook College Student Organic Farm, where she co-managed a group of student volunteers. After realizing that she was particularly interested in agroecology and insect-plant interactions, she did a Ph. D. in insect ecology in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at UC Berkeley. After her Ph. D., she switched fields and did a postdoc in population genetics. In order to understand the role of science in sustainable development, she ran a research lab studying host plant resistance at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines for four years. She returned to the US to start a position at the University of Vermont, where she has held the position of Associate Professor since 2015. Chen spoke at UVM on December 3rd, 2021.

This is very interesting, very cool, and ripe for innovation.” – Amy Simpkins“My niece and nephew are going to have to think about car purchase in terms of kilowatt hours, not miles per gallon.” – Chaun MacQueen“Energy literacy is changing and appreciation of not just energy but all the roles of the people doing it.” - Chaun MacQueen“Those kids are one strategic plan away from joining you in the field already.” – Chaun MacQueenIf you enjoyed the conversation, please share the episode with other innovators.

In this podcast, we talk with Miranda Meehan, NDSU Extension Livestock Environmental Stewardship Specialist. We chat with Miranda about a wide range of subjects that include environmental stewardship and livestock-environmental interactions including: range and riparian ecology, grazing management, integrated crop livestock systems, water quality, and reclamation. Miranda grew up in the agricultural community in North Dakota and brings a practical edge to her academic work, along with a sense of intellectual humility, a fabulous quality in any human being, but important for the work in which she is engaged. While Miranda is located and works in North Dakota, we believe that ranchers in South Dakota and other places can learn form this wonderful talk we had with her. Miranda earned B.S and M.S degrees in Animal and Range Science and a Ph.D. in Natural Resource Management, all from NDSU. Miranda's Bio in her own words reads as follows: “I am the Extension Livestock Environmental Stewardship Specialist in the Animal Sciences Department at North Dakota State University. My appointment is 65% extension and 35% research. Extension responsibilities include development of statewide livestock environmental stewardship program materials, conduct meetings, offer training for livestock producers, extension personnel, and other professionals in the livestock industry. The objective of my research is to increase our understanding the ecology of rangeland ecosystems and assisting landowners in managing their resources in a profitable and sustainable manner. Some of my research interests include riparian ecology and management, grazing management, integrated crop livestock systems, and the influence of energy development on livestock production.” We include links to Miranda's NDSU page, her research gate page (we discuss a number of her publications in the podcast, and they are available in the ResearchGate link), and her Twitter feed.

Prior to Euro-American settlement, Indigenous Peoples of North American lived on and managed this landscape. Today, their land has been confined to reservations and land acquired and held in trust of the tribe. Much like small forest landowners, they manage their forestland for a multitude of goals and services, including many cultural practices that have been carried on through their history. Ray Entz and Mike Lithgow sit down with us to talk about the goals and strategies they have when managing natural resources for the Kalispel Tribe of Indians.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for people and governments worldwide, as well as massive new demands for social protection. It has also sparked an extraordinary collective effort to track developments in the field. socialprotection.org has played a role in that collective effort, hosting a dedicated online community webinars, papers, and conferences devoted to sharing knowledge on COVID-19, extracting analyses of trends from huge datasets, delving into the details of implementation and lessons learned. And most importantly, sharing all of this knowledge to inform more effective responses. socialprotection.org is reaching the end of a special campaign celebrating its sixth anniversary. In our last episode, we took a broad view of trends, looking at what some of the most important changes have been—as well as considering those that may have received less attention. This month, we bring you an in-depth view of social protection programmes in India and Botswana. We'll look at how these were adapted and adjusted to meet the challenges of the pandemic, while considering what lasting effects there might be. In India, the flagship public works programme had to expand rapidly to accommodate increased demand—and it's greatly expanded budget has driven greater convergence with other forms of public assistance. In Botswana, the government announced last year an overhaul of the country's social protection schemes to increase the provision of systematic protection across the life cycle in response to the COVID-19 experience.   Our guests for this episode are: Rajeev Ahal, Director of Natural Resource Management and Agro-ecology at GIZ India, and Lillian Mookodi, a Research Fellow in the Human and Social Development Unit at the Botswana Institute for Development Policy Analysis (BIDPA), about the changes on the horizon. Lillian also worked with the United Nations on a new social protection strategy for Botswana building on the experiences during the COVID-19 crisis.   Links from the episode: Botswana National Social Protection Recovery Plan Impact of COVID-19 on public works programs: policy options in the short and medium term   socialprotection.org's Micro-courses: What is social protection?

She began leading students on month long backpacking trips around the West for various outdoor education companies. Much to her surprise the only medical training that was required of her was basic first aid and CPR certifications.After completing her first Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course in 1992 she recognized the broader need for a more robust, field-based, wilderness medicine curricula designed specifically for outdoor professionals. Nadia pursued this newfound passion with her usual infectious intensity, and began teaching WFR courses soon thereafter. Her fascination with medicine lead to her receiving an EMT certification in 1994 and subsequently volunteering on SAR and working in various emergency departments around Colorado.Before founding Desert Mountain Medicine (DMM), Nadia worked for the Wilderness Education Association as an outdoor educator. She also attended Colorado State University and earned a B.S. in Natural Resource Management.  Later she was asked to join Colorado Mountain College to help jump start their Outdoor Recreation Leadership program (ORL) in Leadville, CO after which she earned an M.S. in Forestry with an emphasis in Outdoor Recreation from Northern Arizona University. Her combined education and experience as a guide, outdoor educator, medical professional, and wilderness medicine instructor provided her with a solid foundation of knowledge, skills, and perspective to develop and run DMM under her own unique vision in 1998.After founding DMM Nadia became the EMS coordinator and EMT instructor for Colorado Mountain College, which inspired her to pursue a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) from Regis University. Nadia continued to work as an ER nurse while cultivating DMM and its community from a fledgling, one-woman operation to the expanding business that it is today.Over two decade later, Nadia continues to contribute to the field of wilderness medicine as part of the Wilderness Medicine Education Collaborative (WEMC) and as DMM's Executive Director, focusing on curriculum development.Nadia  in the media:The ABCs of SOS on Outside OnlineLocal Outdoor Instructor gets National Spotlight

As I am getting to know my fisheries and watersheds, as well as my local fly shop better, I am recognizing there are some additional responsibilities as an angler when it comes to conservation and protecting the health of the fish. So often I hear solutions that “gatekeep”, meaning - the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something (Wiki) I observe guides and locals fix blame on newbies, social media, geotagging, spot blowing, and we'll get into geotagging on part two. Join me and Marco Kamimura, Fly Fishing Guide and Fly Tyer, that speaks to his experiences in Iowa. We discuss the difference between gatekeeping and protecting vulnerable fisheries while advocating for change and being an agent of change for your home waters so that one day we won't have to keep fisheries on the “downlow.” Resources: https://www.fws.gov/wsfrprograms/Subpages/AboutUs/ItemsTaxedJan2018.pdf https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/laws-and-policies/national-standard-guidelines --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/erica-nelson2/support

Matthew Hall has been an amazing asset to the Cottage Grove Community. Listen to his story, including his arrival from England to Aprovecho several decades ago and his work with Al Kennedy High School leading youth corps. "There was a saying in Ireland that forestry was a great profession to be in because nobody realizes your mistakes until fifty years later." For the last 13 years, Matthew Hall has worked at Al Kennedy High School as a Transition Specialists, garden / nursery manager and crew leader for Kennedy's Youth Conservation Corps. Under his leadership Kennedy Conservation Corps has worked in the Coast Range, the National Forest, around Fern Ridge and Dorena Lakes along the Row River Trail bike path, at Quamash prairie and at numerous sites in the Cottage Grove area. Kennedy Conservation Corps works with multiple partners including the Coast Fork Willamette Watershed Council, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Army Corps of Engineers, Lane County Waste Management and local private landowners. In addition to learning a work ethic and gaining valuable job skills corps members also learn to identify plants, learn about ecosystem restoration, meet natural resource professionals and learn about careers in Natural Resource Management. They also earn high school credit and receive minimum wage. Check out his article about the Civilian Conservation Corp--a New Deal program with plenty of relevance for today.
