Roots of the Spirit welcomes Jason Ward - Birder, Writer and host of his own web series "Birds of North America." Born and raised in Bronx, New York Jason's love for wildlife began at a young age as he fell in love with dinosaurs - an infatuation that provided him with an escape from the obstacles growing up in the South Bronx. Now, he gets to share his love for modern-day dinosaurs (birds) with the public, in his web series; "Birds of North America". Jason's mission is to change the way the public views wildlife, and to blaze a trail for future generations of children growing up in underserved communities.
