Green and Curious Podcast

Welcome back to Part 2 of Kill Your Lawn with Danny Molinaro. If you didn't get a chance to listen to Part 1 last week, I recommend you go back and get caught up on this really interesting and important discussion about the impact that lawns are having on the natural world in North America. We also tiptoe our way into the aquatic equivalent of the lawn that is executed around the country in coastal landscapes, particularly coastal towns and cities, that is having the same negative impacts, but has established solutions.

It might sound weird that someone working to improve the environment might tell you to kill plants, like your lawn, but I'm here to tell you that's exactly what today's speaker says is best practice in enhancing the environment, supporting wildlife, and improving biodiversity. What does that look like and why? Pull up a chair and let's talk about killing some lawns!

This week all six of us got together to talk about working in conservation. What are our favorite parts? What are the most challenging parts? What are big and important things that are coming up that can change the game for the environment in New York?! Grab a seat at the table and let's chat Working in Conservation.

It's Moira Delaney! And she's here to talk about soil, erosion, urban water quality, coastal resilience, and all the silly and dumb things people in charge of making important decisions do. Let's discuss why it's important to be making the best choices when it comes to managing land, particularly public land.

In this episode, we are discussing the Spotted Lantern Fly, the Tree of Heaven, and other Invasive Species. How do we manage Spotted Lantern Flies? Should we be managing invasive species? Does anything matter?

In this episode, we meet Peter Rathsack; legendary marathon runner, watershed scientist, and midwestern humble bumble who won't tell you how great he is (even though he is a legit badass). We talk about aquatic invasive species, watersheds, and the violent conflict between nature and human infrastructure. Welcome back to Green & Curious!

Are you ready to fall in love with birds, nature, birding, and the delightful Hannah Kirshenbaum? Get ready! She will sneak up on you and recruit you into the magical world of birding. With an educational background in Environmental Engineering, Hannah's journey is focused on birds, doing it all for the birds.

Green & Curious is coming back after a pandemic-induced hiatus!

In this episode, Mac and Ryan talk about what we have learned so far in this inaugural season of Green & Curious and who we got the opportunity to talk with. We reveal our plans for future seasons, guest host episodes, and our YouTube channel!
