As Nature Revisited approaches its fifth year, we go behind the podcast in this episode to meet its creator - Stefan Van Norden. From his experiences in nature during his formative years, to a rediscovery of nature as intrinsically sacred through the act of gardening, Stefan relates through personal accounts the origins and philosophy of Nature Revisited - The Podcast. Interviewed by friend and actor Jamie Horton, Stefan talks about our responsibility to give back to nature, and how his search to fulfill that duty - first with gardening, then filmmaking - ultimately led to creating Nature Revisited as a diverse community-building platform for those who are passionate about sharing, protecting and giving back to nature, which we are all a part of.

In 1986, a shy and intelligent twenty-year-old named Christopher Knight left his home, drove to woods of Maine, and disappeared into the forest for 27 years, surviving by his wits and courage until he was finally arrested for stealing food. This remarkable true story is told by American Journalist Michael Finkel in his book 'The Stranger in the Woods: The extraordinary story of the last true hermit'. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Michael discusses how he came to retell this gripping story of survival, the mystery behind Christopher Knight, and why Christopher's determination to live his own way is pointedly inextricable with humanity's origins.

Benjamin Vogt is an award-winning author and gardener based in Lincoln, Nebraska. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Benjamin explains why we need a new garden ethic and why we urgently need wildness in our daily lives. The seemingly trivial matter of not growing native plants in our gardens is an important factor in how we are short circuiting our response to global crises. By thinking deeply and honestly about our built landscapes, we can create a compassionate activism that connects us more profoundly to nature and to one another.
