Shownotes
Have you ever wondered how your backyard or garden can help to save wildlife? Or why something as simple as leaving your leaves where they fall can make a big difference for local ecosystems? And what role does media, from television to online platforms, play in conservation efforts?
Today’s guest is David Mizejewski, a naturalist, author, and television presenter with the National Wildlife Federation. David has spent years educating the public on how small, everyday actions can protect wildlife and the environment.
He’s here to talk about his exciting career and the Leave the Leaves campaign, which encourages homeowners to repurpose their fallen leaves to support biodiversity.
We’ll discuss his career journey, why TV is such a powerful tool for conservation, and how you can get involved with wildlife-friendly initiatives in your own backyard. Plus, we dive into David’s experiences on popular TV shows like Conan, RuPaul’s Drag Race and Good Morning America and how he uses media to inspire people to take action.
It’s an inspiring, educational, and practical podcast. Enjoy!
