It was a pleasure to have Dr. Lee Foote on the podcast. Lee has spent his life working in the outdoors and teaching as a professor of Conservation Biology at the University of Alberta. Dr. Foote was the director behind the UofA botanical gardens and has been on the board for the Alberta Conservation Association for over 18 years. In this conversation Lee talks about growing up in the south and how his life and career brought him to hunting, fishing, and educating here in the north. Interwoven through the chat Lee shares many meaningful memories and stories that are loaded with knowledge and appreciation for our wild world. I look forward to having Dr. Foote back to dive deeper into many of the topics we covered.
