Thanks for tuning in to The Land Steward Podcast. We're so grateful you're here to join us for some relatable conversations about land and wildlife stewardship.
Hi, and welcome back to the Land Steward Podcast. This is your host, BW, and I am again super excited to be back in the booth to bring you to the behind-the-scenes recap of the Endangered Species Symposium that took place at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center just a couple weeks ago. As you know, our last episode we had Shelby McKay with the Natural Resources Institute on to talk a little bit about the relationship between private landowners in Texas and the Endangered Species Act and what opportunities are there for collaboration, for flexibility, and really relationship building so we can make sure that landowners are connected to the resources that exist for and through the Endangered Species Act.
Hi, welcome back to the Land Steward Podcast. I'm your host BW and I am absolutely excited to be back in this cozy booth with you because it is a rainy, solid 36 degrees outside right now in College Station and I don't know about you, but sometimes I think I'm a cold weather person and I don't know that that I actually am. I think I am a native Texan, and I am perfectly okay with being warm. So, happy new year. I am happy to bring you back in for our first episode of 2024. I think we ended 2023 - tell me if you feel like this is resonating with you - a little bit on a reflective note. It was definitely a year of a lot of learning and shifting for us making sure that we are ready to get into the new year, you know, it's just kind of this prompting of maybe a refresher or new beginnings but we're looking to do better with less and to figure out how to be very purposeful with our time which is, I think for anybody, anywhere, very stretched, especially in natural resources, where there's a lot of work left to be done.
