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 . Another Pepperwood Steward who works on the Phenology Project is Natasha Granoff , and she's also written about her experiences! Read her essay , On The Plant Phenology Trail . Curious about becoming a Steward at Pepperwood? Or just taking one of the amazing California Naturalist or Climate Steward certification programs Julianne talked about? Here's where you can learn more about Pepperwood's Steward program , AND here's where you can learn more about the 👉 UC Environmental Stewards certification program 👈
