Season 2: A World Worth Keeping

Episode 1: Interview with Dr. Gregory Moore OAM - On Trees, Time, and the Bigger Picture

I'm back - with a brand new season of Taught, Not Told.

This season, we’re exploring climate stories: not just the science or the headlines, but the people. The ones who are shaping the future with their choices, their knowledge, and their quiet persistence.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Greg Moore - arborist, botanist, and former Head of Burnley College at the University of Melbourne. He’s spent decades advocating for urban trees and reminding us why greenery isn’t just nice to have - it’s essential. We spoke about time, perspective, and the quiet power of nature to shape our lives.

We covered everything from the evolutionary pace of trees to why life feels fleeting, and what it means to truly use your time well. We talked about doing work that brings you joy, our place in the web of life, and how reconnecting with nature might just help us reconnect with each other.

A grounding and eye-opening conversation to start the season.
