George McKenzie Jr. is a National Geographic Society award-winning visual storyteller from Brooklyn, NY, who specializes in wildlife, natural history, and conservation. How did George go from being born and raised in Brooklyn to a career focused on some of the deepest wildernesses in Florida? It started with seeing a job opening for the Northern Everglades Camera Trap Technician. Most recently, George’s journey took him to learn the skills of “camera trapping” during the filming of Path of the Panther. We had Erick Bendick, the director of that film, on our last episode. Today we’ll hear about George’s unique path, a growing passion for a place he now calls home, and how even a newcomer to Florida can make a big impact on the protection of our amazing wild spaces. Learn more about George by following his work:https://www.instagram.com/georgemckenziejr/https://www.georgemckenziejr.com/More information about visiting Archbold Biological Station: https://archbold-station.org/visit/Watch Path of the Pantherhttps://pathofthepanther.com/watch/
