In this episode of The Spark Bird Podcast, our hosts Jenn Lodi-Smith and Janet McNally welcome Georgia Silvera Seamans, environmental educator, founder of Local Nature Lab, and host of the Your Bird Story podcast. Georgia reflects on the many spark bird moments throughout her life, from growing up in Jamaica, surrounded by birds without realizing their significance, to reconnecting with nature through trees, urban green spaces, and birding as an adult.
