It’s in Our Nature New podcast celebrates the connection of people and nature
Want to know more about Missouri TNC projects, partners and plans? Tune in to It’s in Our Nature , TNC’s new podcast that celebrates the connection of people and nature in Missouri. “I feel fortunate that on a regular basis, I get to be deeply involved in conversations with partners and colleagues celebrating the large and small wins of our work,” says Adam McLane, Missouri state director. “It’s hard to convey that passion on paper or in an email. Podcasting is a format that we’ve not previously explored, but we’re excited to join the podcasting culture and spread a little positivity.” It’s in Our Nature shares inspiring stories and highlights Missourians making positive impacts in our communities and to conservation at large. “We get to bring in people that mean so much to us and to our work, and open this dialogue about the challenges that we face as people and that face our planet,” he says. “But at the same time, we’re celebrating the idea of working with nature instead of against it—then we all win.” Six episodes are planned to be released in 2021. Each will focus on a conservation challenge and the collaborative effort to solve it.
“The Nature Conservancy is a science-based organization,” says McLane. “We collect data. We test practices. We create innovative tools that inform these big strategies that are sometimes hard to grasp.” Storytelling puts projects in perspective and highlights the real impacts of TNC’s work across the state. “The stories are all around us,” he says. “We’ll hear from the landowner who can sleep a little easier now that the levee protecting his town has been realigned to allow the river more room, and the mom who can walk to her local urban farm and put fresh produce on her table. Those are the stories we’ll be sharing. They are the real inspiration for the work that we do.” It’s in Our Nature is available on multiple podcast platforms.
