This is a Special Episode of Kindred, and we’re throwing it in mid-season because we have questions!  Let me explain. 

Recently, the federal government has been eliminating or cutting federal programs and funding in context to conservation-from protection of wildlife and forest, to clean air and water acts. 

This has ignited many questions about the effects that the federal government is having on not only a national level,  but on state and local levels as well. So, we want to know how we can take action to support local and state governments, and non profit organizations, who are working hard to protect long standing and critical protections in support of wildlife and nature.

So we have asked Patrick McDonnell, CEO and President of the non profit PennFuture to join us today to walk us through the effects that the federal government is having on a state and local level, and specifically Pennsylvania, our home state. Patrick brings over 20 years of experience on climate, clean energy and environmental issues to his role as president and CEO of PennFuture.

Thanks so much to Patrick and PennFuture for jumping into this conversation and sharing your insights from your many years of experience in this field, and also sharing some great go-to’s in Pennsylvania!  And make sure to listen to the end. We have some extra fun facts! 

Lots of Love.
