  • Entertaining and informative

    Although The Backyard Naturalists is recorded practically in my own backyard, they explore a wide range of topics and habitats, from the Everglades to Alaska and beyond. While their content is fact-filled, it’s also highly accessible and doesn’t assume listeners are already familiar with their topics. My ten year old enjoys listening in the car as much as I do! Episode idea: the history and disappearance of the American chestnut, and current efforts to restore it.
