Welcome to Modern Texas Naturalist.

Join wildlife biologist, conservationist, and lifelong naturalist Romey Swanson for conversations with people whose lives have been shaped by exploring, understanding, and caring for the natural world.

Scientists. Writers. Educators. Landowners. Artists. Conservationists. And wonderfully curious people who simply can't stop asking questions about the wild world around them.

These are conversations about nature, discovery, field experiences, conservation, books, ideas, unexpected encounters - and the people and places that leave their mark on us.

Our first conversation arrives September 30 with Dr. Randy Simpson, Romey's graduate advisor, longtime mentor, friend, and one of the people who helped shape the naturalist he would become.

Follow Modern Texas Naturalist now so you'll be there when our first conversation drops.

New conversations every other Wednesday.
