Welcome back to Seeds for Change: An Institute for Applied Ecology podcast! After taking a break during the height of our summer field season, we're back with a new episode this month (Episode 4) featuring the voices and perspectives of our Ecological Education team. Ecological Education is a vital part of IAE's mission to conserve native habitats and save ecosystems.
Our Ecological Education ('EE') Program is unique in that it is dedicated to improving the lives of incarcerated adults through education and conservation. That means a lot of our EE work is done in a prison setting. Since the program began in 2014, our conservation work in prisons has grow to include 14 prisons across Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, Wyoming, and New Mexico.
This episode of Seeds for Change is also unique: featuring the voices of six IAE staff members who work to strengthen and grow our ecological education program every day. We will also hear from Program Director Karen Hall on one of our biggest conservation projects within the EE program: the Sagebrush in Prisons Project.
We hope you enjoy this episode, and thank you for tuning in!
