Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reading the Wildlife Stories in Your Garden
Q: How would I go about finding a local course and assessing the quality of the practitioners teaching courses?
You could look for Tracker Evaluations North America online to find certified trackers. Many offer classes either independently or through wilderness schools.
Reading the Wildlife Stories in Your Garden
Q: What would you recommend to listeners as a good way to begin educating themselves about developing the skills needed to interpret tracks and signs?
A course is always going to get you jump started and going a lot faster than a book. A book can work good too, so I think it's a good secondary option.
A Garden Masterpiece Designed to Evolve
Q: Can you give me an idea of the extent of the gardens?
The High Line is a mile and a half long, maintaining just under four acres of actual garden with a team of horticulturists.
A Garden Masterpiece Designed to Evolve
Q: Can you share what the difference is of the management approach?
The management approach involves a curated garden that appears naturalistic but requires intimate care, allowing plants to thrive in their conditions.
Converting Landscape Professionals to Environmental Activists
Q: Do you have a sense of what the reach of your programs has been?
We have trained well over 2,000 people since we started the CBLP program in 2016, with over 1,600 certified level one professionals.
