Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Clancy Lester - Native Bee Conservation
Q: What advice would you give to someone wanting to support or learn more about native bees?
Explore local native bee associations, join entomology groups, watch instructional videos, and read accessible books like Making Your Garden a Haven for Native Bees; resources should be sought through reputable Indigenous-led or Indigenous-owned platforms.
Clancy Lester - Native Bee Conservation
Q: How do you approach representing Indigenous knowledge in a respectful, accessible way?
He describes collaboration from the start, avoiding a mere consultation, ensuring First Nations perspectives are integrated through planning and feedback, and prioritizing two-way exchanges and Indigenous-owned resources.
Clancy Lester - Native Bee Conservation
Q: What sparked your passion for native bees and urban biodiversity?
Clancy explains growing up surrounded by natural habitats, field experiences with Indigenous communities, and a desire to educate people about pollinators, which led to his focus on bees and the creation of education programs.
Richard Neville - Regenerative Design Through Landscape Architecture
Q: Could you give us a little insight into your passion for nature and landscape architecture?
I grew up in Browns Bay and fell in love with nature through bushwalks and time in the outdoors. After trying architecture, I shifted into landscape architecture because I was more drawn to the spaces people inhabit and interact with daily, rather than the buildings themselves. This field allows me to focus on how spaces connect people, environments, and communities.
Christelle Bakhache - Ecological Impact of Nature Recreation
Q: What responsibilities do professional athletes have regarding their environmental impact?
Athletes should model responsible behavior in their outdoor practices and use their platforms to promote positive environmental actions.
