Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Penny Harr - Anne LaBastille
Q: What did Anne ultimately want to tell women?
LaBastille wanted women to pursue their passions, including outdoor and scientific careers, resist society's expectations and care for the earth through actions large or small.
Penny Harr - Anne LaBastille
Q: How did you get connected with Anne in the first place?
Harr had heard LaBastille's name while growing up in the Adirondacks, later read her books and became interested after hearing a legacy talk by the executrix of LaBastille's estate, who encouraged her to begin interviewing people.
Marina Richie - Feathered Forest
Q: Would you please kind of elaborate on the concept of climate refugia?
Climate refugia are places that have persisted through major changes and can shelter species as the climate warms. Layered ancient forests provide cooler microclimates that can help birds and other wildlife adapt.
Marina Richie - Feathered Forest
Q: How do birds impact forests?
Birds help maintain forest health by eating insects, excavating nesting and roosting cavities, spreading seeds and supporting relationships across the ecosystem.
Julia Zichello - Bird on the Street
Q: So what is it that you really want people to take away from reading your book?
Zichello hopes readers recognize that common or disliked species can teach us something, that evolution and adaptation are happening nearby, and that curiosity about familiar nature can lead to new scientific questions.
