Join us as we talk about nature with those who know her best so that we can plan, design, and implement nature-based solutions (NBS) to overcome the obstacles facing South Carolina and the Southeast. These methods keep nature at the heart of the solution and offer multiple benefits to the ecosystem and society. Each month we sit down with a nature expert or enthusiast who shares some of the wisdom and best practices that nature has taught them. Together, we learn more about nature, ways we can design NBS to address obstacles, and suggestions on how to implement equitable nature-based work.

The Nature-Based Roots of the Gullah Geechee with Marilyn Hemingway

On this episode, we welcome Marilyn Hemingway, the founder and president of the Gullah Geechee Chamber of Commerce. Marilyn talks about the history and legacy of the Gullah Geechee people in the U.S. and worldwide, and explains how nature plays an important role in their culture and communities. Marilyn's passion for the environment is evident as she discusses the Gullah Geechee Seafood Trail, the Gullah Geechee Environmental and Energy Conference, and other initiatives the Chamber is pursuing to support local communities, while also encouraging each one of us to find our journey, build our confidence, be intentional, and make an impact in our own communities.
