Planning for the Future with David McKinney

Hosts Fran Chismar and Tom Knezick connect with David McKinney, Curator of Collections and Grounds at Iowa Arboretum and Gardens, to discuss the future of our natural ecosystems. Topics include how David found his love for native plants, stewardship of natural lands at the arboretum, what climate change means for pollinators, non-native plants in urban environments, and it wouldn’t be a show without favorite native plants. Music by Egocentric Plastic Men, Outro music by Dave Bennett.

Great conversation.

Hey, I just wanted to point out the fact that you can obscure your geolocation on iNat when you make your post, so other people do not have the exact location so poachers cannot use your data. Thanks Fran and Tom!
