Public Lands Rule: Let your voice be heard and submit a comment to your lawmakers! Here’s more information about the Public Lands Rule.

We dive into a chat with Chase Bartee a filmmaker, scientific illustrator and multifaceted storyteller to discuss the value of observing the natural world. Both Chase and I had ideations of growing up to be scientist or biologists of some kind but ultimately pursued art in our college level educations. Over the years we’ve both come back to a deep love of observing and learning about the natural world. We discuss the depth of understanding and learning that naturally comes of observation. How our work is influenced by what we’ve learned from years spent in the outdoors. And how we use story telling to educate and help others fall in love with the natural world.

Connect with Chase’s (Tight Loops Fly) films, website and Instagram.
