A proposito di questo titolo

 Wild in the City is a podcast created for all the people in urban cities who care deeply about the environment and are concerned by the rapid disappearance of their wild places. If you are looking to learn, make connections with like-minded citizens, and be inspired to have local impact, look no further. Wild in the City’s focus is on preserving and restoring tree canopy, streams, springs, wildlife, pollinators, habitat, biodiversity and nature preserves. You will be exposed to best practices from thriving urban cities around America who have successfully flipped the mindset on the cost of growth at the expense of our natural resources. Jim Newbury and Janet Wells bring you environmental changemakers who have demonstrated how the environment plays a critical role in the sustainability and resilience of urban cities. Featured guests will share how urban cities are waking up to the valuable role of nature in attracting new residents and sustaining equitable growth in their communities. Our focus is on making local impact as easy as possible, so each episode ends with actionable advice and levels of involvement that fit any bandwidth.All rights reserved Scienza

    Episode 6: Sally Bethea, Founding Chattahooche Riverkeeper and Author
    Jan 12 2024
    Jim and Janet are joined by Sally Bethea, the retired founding director of Chattahoochee Riverkeeper. She served as executive director and riverkeeper for two decades and continues to assist Chattahoochee Riverkeeper as a senior advisor. Sally is one of the first women in America to become a “riverkeeper”—a vocal defender of a specific waterway who holds polluters accountable. In her new book Keeping the Chattahoochee, she tells stories that range from joyous and funny to frustrating—even alarming—to illustrate what it takes to save an endangered river. Her tales are triggered by the regular walks she takes through a forest to the Chattahoochee over the course of a year, finding solace and kinship in nature. Bethea also publishes a monthly column, Above the Waterline, in Atlanta Intown. She lives and writes in midtown Atlanta.
