What can we learn from nature when we pause to look and listen? In this episode, writer and American Sign Language interpreter Justin Maurer shares how being an interpreter for his deaf mom led to forming a punk band, presenting at the Oscars and seeking out one of the quietest places in the world. We also interview Nancy Bockino, a forest ecologist and avalanche professional who is working to restore an entire ecosystem by saving the whitebark pine. At the Archives, Val and Terri explain how Yvon Chouinard’s worn out craghopper shorts became the seed for Patagonia clothing.
