It’s mid-summer here in the northern hemisphere, and that means vacation season. So this week’s episode is a solo one, to give me a little space for my vacation.Don’t worry, regular episodes return next time, including topics such as Caribbean coral reef systems, the incredible diversity of flies (yes, flies are more incredible than even the experts know!), raptor ecology, and eastern North American deciduous forests. And that just covers episodes in various stages of development during the month of July!Before the main topic, be sure to check out my latest blog post that has more field guide recommendations from Cricket, Allen, and I. If you don't know what I'm talking about, listen to Episode 47 for an amazing discussion about an eclectic mix of field guides.The main topic today is Jumpstart Nature, my new non-profit! I'm making progress, and even have a new logo. See the FULL SHOW NOTES for a preview!Today's episode gives a few glimpses into my plans, and reveals a core element - The Ladder of Environmental Care. Support the show
