In this episode we introduce our host, Environmental Educator Julianne Bradbury, our plans for the podcast, and Steward Gary Morgret, a dedicated volunteer who has contributed his time and talents to the Pepperwood Phenology Project for nearly a decade.

Watch Julianne’s 2021 webinar, “Impacts of Fire on Amphibians and Reptiles”

Gary mentions being inspired by Pepperwood Steward, Wendy Herniman. She's since moved out of the area but her work on oak trees from her time with Pepperwood is really fascinating. You can read all about it in her essay, The Grandmother Oak.
