Bonus Episode: Field of Dreams
We’re on Vacation this week, which means a Bonus Episode! If you’re here for hunting and fishing, check back Thursday for a great conversation about Artemis Sportswomen and a fantastic story of how the Program Manager got into hunting! But, in the meantime, so we don’t get penalized by the Apple Overlords, here are some random thoughts on the 1989 Kevin Costner Classic, Field of Dreams . . . PS – if you know someone who’s not always down to talk hunting, fishing, or conservation, this might be a great episode to introduce them to our platform. Provided they like the movie. If not, just don’t tell them! Go to…

Conversations 2.11: Dr. Richard Chandler
Recently, FWC revealed the final product of the South Florida Deer Study, a multi year paper that provided a in depth examination of how deer in both Big Cypress and Panther NWR behave and are affected by hunters, predators, and hydrology. This study is remarkably timely, given the backdrop of the Western Everglades Restoration Project coupled with hunters observations of the Big Cypress deer herd. The study can be found on FWC’s website or you can find it on Dr. Chandler’s site here, where you can also follow Dr. Chandler’s other works.

#136: the One about Conservation
What happens when you take an article entitled “The Message of Conservation Failed” and mix it with the North American Conservation Model, Space X, the National Wildlife Refuge System, and Fisheries Management, while at the same time giving the funny host the week off and letting the other one take a break to (airquotes) “get married” . . .

Conversations 2.9: Danielle Kirkland, FWC Invasive Plant Management
Chances are, if you’re listening to an outdoors podcast, you’ve heard some mention of the topic of Spraying. We toss around binary concepts – stop spraying, ban chemicals, poison . . . In this week’s conversation, we take a measured approach with an expert on the subject, FWC’s Danielle Kirkland, a leader in the state’s Invasive Plant Management Team. We go into detail on why spraying occurs, why natives matter, why managing invasives needs to continue, how herbicides are approved for usage, the creation of muck, lake levels, and pay to spray – plus why Danielle does what she does . . . You do not want to miss this…

#133: Water
The Savings Clause. WRDA. Lake Levels. LOSOM. LORS. Everglades Restoration. What does all of it mean? This week, we give our takes on the things you hear so much about on a recurring basis from so many of the non-profits – we’re not experts, but we try to take an inquisitive and thoughtful approach to what’s going on with Florida’s most precious resource . . .
