Marina Richie is an award-winning nature writer. With degrees in Journalism and Biology, she has led conservation initiatives as a communications director, authored two children’s nature books, penned award-winning wayside exhibits, and now dedicates her time to writing books, poetry, and advocating for wildlands and wildlife.On this episode of Nature Revisited, Richie takes us into the ancient forests of Cascadia, a bioregion which rivals the Amazonian rainforest in significance for climate and biodiversity. These 'feathered forests' are a hidden vertical world of wild trees that are home to an incredible array of bird species. These birds are guides to intricate and imperiled communities thriving at every level, from understory to midstory to overstory. They steer us to cool havens within multilayered, centuries-old groves that are critical refugia in a time of climate crisis. Their songs and flights show us what we must protect for the future of threatened birds, forests, and humankind.https://www.marinarichie.comhttps://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/827850/feathered-forest-by-marina-richie/Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.comSubscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28tSubscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/supportNature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.
