Jack Miner's – Matt Olewski

Matt Olewski is a former teacher turned Executive Director of the Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary — a role he found by taking a leap of faith and trading the classroom for a groundskeeping job just to get through the doors of one of Kingsville's most beloved institutions. In this episode, Matt sits down to tell the full story of Jack Miner: the market hunter turned conservation pioneer who counted Henry Ford as a close friend and sparked a continent-wide movement to protect migratory birds. If you've ever walked the trails at Kennedy Woods and wondered how it all began, this one's for you.
