Joseph Drew Lanham is an ornithologist, naturalist, writer, and poet combining conservation science with personal, historical, and cultural narratives of nature. Lanham's research and teaching focuses on the impacts of forest management on birds and other wildlife. He brings this ecological knowledge as well as his perspective as a Black man living in the South to bear on his work as a storyteller, poet, and passionate advocate for bird-watching, outdoor recreation, and environmental conservation and stewardship. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Drew discusses the inspirations for his award-winning book The Home Place - Memoirs of a Colored Man's Love Affair With Nature. With meditations on nature and belonging, he explores the contradictions of Black identity and how he finds joy and freedom in the same land his ancestors were bound to.
