Hosts Fran Chismar and Tom Knezick share one of their favorite episodes from the Native Plants Healthy Planet Archives.  In this episode, Tom and Fran talk with Dr. Daniela Shebitz (Chair and Professor, Environmental and Sustainability Sciences - Kean University) to talk about land management and our connections with nature. Topics include theories of land management throughout different cultures, the importance of succession, the practice of prescribed burns, and our responsibility to reach a wider audience.  Also discussed is the one native plant you should have on your property for its medicinal value.  Dr. Shebitz introduces Tom and Fran to a native plant right in their backyards.
