In his book ‘Nature's Best Hope’, Doug Tallamy lays out a new approach to conservation that everyone can employ at home in their own yards. Inspired by this idea, James & Taylor Davis embarked upon a journey to transform their small New Hampshire yard into a haven for native plant species, which in turn nurture the native fauna. In this episode of Nature Revisited, the Davises share their experiences cultivating native plant species and challenge the notion of what home gardens can and should be.

The Appalachian trail is an iconic American landmark of wild natural beauty and the longest hiking-only trail in the world, stretching from Georgia to Maine. More than 2 million people hike portions of the trail each year, but only a small fraction hike the entirety of the trail in a single season. Paul Fuzinski is one such ‘Thru-hiker’. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Paul recounts his life-changing experiences on the trail, the physical and mental commitments involved, relationships forged along the way, and the resulting profound connection to nature he now enjoys.
