In this episode of Conservation Conversations we are doing something a little different, but kind of the same… We are wrapping up our mini series, Conservation on Fire, by just talking amongst ourselves. This episode is Taylor and Austin of Pelecanus talking with Eric Zahn, Pelecanus board member and past episode interviewee, about what we do in regards to fire and forest health and it kind of just morphs into a conversation about conservation in general and how and why Pelecanus got started. You can find our website at Pelecanus.org and check the episode description for links to the programs we talked about.
