Healing Nature & Ourselves: Gary Eldred & The Prairie Enthusiasts

Gary Eldred is a founder of The Prairie Enthusiasts, and he joins us today to talk about his newly released book, Healing Wounds: Giving Back to Nature. While the book comes completely from Gary's words, it was brought into existence though the scribing work of Mark Leach who, among other things, does a weekly program, Ecotopia Soon, which will be occasionally featured in the near future on this show. Both Gary & Mark are here today, in person, to talk about prairie restoration, healing the Earth, healing ourselves, and much more. Gary was inducted into Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame in 2021, a capstone to his decades working with Wisconsin's DNR, with a plant nursery, as a Forestry Technician, and a lifetime of volunteer work on all kinds of prairies. Mark Leach, author of several other books, has both the professional credentials and the volunteer ardor related to his conservation & ecological work, including his PhD and his teaching in related topics at 3 different universities.
