Episode 103: Sara Gagne - Nature At Your Door

Sara Gagné is an author and associate professor of landscape ecology in the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences at the University of North Carolina. Her research, teaching, and writing is dedicated to understanding and communicating how people and nature interact in cities. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Stefan and Sara discuss her book Nature at Your Door: Connecting with the Wild, which explores how what we do in our yards matters just as much as the way our local parks and nature preserves are managed. Beginning with a perspective of the yard, moving onto streets, parks, neighborhoods and cities, Sara illustrates how people and nature are vitally connected in the urban and suburban landscape.
