  • Slowing Down With Nature
    Jul 10 2025

    Thanks for wandering through nature with me on another episode of The Nature Wanderer! Today I was supposed to be leading a nature hike at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, NY but had a no-show, so I took the free time to “slow down” and be with nature. Join me today as I explore the nature around me and teach you about slowing down in a hectic world. Enjoy your listening.

  • The Backyard Revival - Creating A Backyard Habitat
    Jun 19 2025

    Thanks for wandering through nature with me on another episode of The Nature Wanderer! Today I head into the “wilds” of my own backyard for part two of solving the mystery of the missing wildlife. Our separation from the natural world has caused us to groom our yards to the point where they don’t support a natural ecosystem. Our yards have turned into a desert. Enjoy your listening.

    Here are some links to websites that will help you create a backyard habitat for the wildlife

    General information and finding local species - https://homegrownnationalpark.org/

    Audubon’s native species finder - https://www.audubon.org/native-plants

    National Wildlife’s native plant finder - https://nativeplantfinder.nwf.org/
