In Our Nature

As lockdowns force many of us indoors, our relationship with the natural world is more important than ever. We’ve all experienced the benefits nature can bring to our mental health and well-being. In this special podcast conversation as part of Victoria Nature Festival, a panel of passionate nature-lovers explores the many different ways we can reconnect with nature and advocate for its care.

Hear from Gardening Australia host Costa Georgiadis, Darug researcher and archaeologist Maddison Miller and VicHealth CEO and public health advocate Dr Sandro Demaio, who along with host and​ author of Fathoms: The World in the Whale Rebecca Giggs, discuss their personal experiences of connecting with nature and the focus they place on action for the climate and environment in their lives and work.
