From Bison to Warblers, Connecting Youth to Wildlife

How do you connect urban kids with the nature next door? We talk to Justin Twist from Environmental Learning for Kids at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge near Denver, Hendra Aquan of Transformasi Hijau (Green Transformation) in Jakarta, and Tykee James of Wild West Philly (our guest host) about giving kids binoculars, fishing rods, whatever it takes to get them out in their local wilds.

Matt from In Defense of Plants drops us some #wildlifebling about the feral orchids of Buffalo, and the Philly crew tracks down long-legged cellar spiders (our synanthropic organism of the episode) in Billy’s basement.
