About this episode

The episode discusses how to engage college students in nature through hands-on learning in wildlife conservation.

What’s the best way to get college students interested in nature? By getting them outside and teaching them valuable skills in wildlife conservation and habitat restoration. Associate Professor Laci Gerhart’s popular “Wild Davis” course does just that, and students who complete the course can earn California Naturalist Certification.
