Phoebe Stoner has done advocacy a number of different ways: She's worked at non-profits, embedded in the field, and she's also sometimes separated her conservation-life from her professional life. Advocacy doesn't have to be a full-time job for you to make a difference. Stoner is currently on the board of the Northwest Steelheaders, a panel her board colleagues joke errs on the side of male, pale and stale. So... how do you fix that? 2:00 Artemis Podcast – April 22,2021: Saying 'Yes' to Serving ...

When Pennsylvania game commissioner Kristen Schnepp-Giger is confronted with a decision, she takes stock of her gut feeling and then goes to the other side and lets them try to convince her. It's her way of making sure she's hearing all sides to a particular issue, and what the consequences of her decisions mean to others. In the seventh installment of the Artemis Leadership Series, we talk about having hard discussions, building relationships, keeping your composure, and knowing your own limits...

When Kathy Hadley was living in New York, one of her nephews got unexpectedly sick. Several kids in the neighborhood were experiencing the same thing, and it turned out that the town's school was built on a toxic waste site. Being involved in the Love Canal environmental disaster kickstarted Hadley's career in conservation. When she moved to Montana and noticed that plants wouldn't grow on certain parts along the Clark Fork River (places now called "slickens"), she recognized a similar situation...

We're taking a one-week break from the Artemis Leadership Series to talk with Sara Parker Pauley, the director of Missouri's Department of Conservation. Like many state agency leaders, Sara is gearing up in the hopes that Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (RAWA) is passed into law. RAWA funding is earmarked specifically for species of special concern, aimed at preventing the kind of decline that might land a species on the Endangered Species List. Stay tuned for details on Artemis's "Conservatio...

In the fifth installment of the Artemis Women in Conservation Leadership series, we're joined by Flora Csontos, who used to work for the governor's office in Wisconsin. Her job was to recommend people to serve on the state's boards and commissions. She tells us about what that process is like, and how you can put your name into the proverbial slush pile for leadership roles in public service. Plus: Ego-driven ambition versus the desire to do good in the world; turkey hunting; and being a leaders...

When Dr. Winifred Kessler started her career in wildlife biology, field positions weren't open to women. That changed when she was doing her PhD, and she went on to have a career that straddled academic and agency life. Wini was often "the first woman" on many different kinds of jobs. She talks about what that was like, and also shares stories of the women who came before us. There was Sheila Minor Huff, who was labeled "not identified" in a photo of other scientists taken during a whale confere...

Dr. Jennifer James did her dissertation research on women in the conservation field. This episode, we talk about some of the barriers to upward mobility in conservation leadership roles -- things like subtle gender bias or imposter syndrome. At the same time, Jennifer also saw positive influences that were elevating women in their field -- chiefly mentorship and collaborative relationships. Artemis is embarking on a series about women in conservation leadership. We hope you'll join us! 1:30 Alex...

Holly Heyser works in waterfowl conservation by day -- but she might be best known in the sporting world for her words (To the Bone) and her amazing photos (Hunt Gather Cook).

Last year marked the start of Artemis's "tactics" courses, where we hosted a virtual bootcamp for hunters interested in new disciplines. Our first event, Turkey Tactics, was a hit. We brought in four turkey hunters with more than 100 years of turkey hunting experience between them for our first webinar, Patt Dorsey, Mary Lynn, Kathy Stephens and Emily Ledergerber. We're sharing that audio with you today. Many of the women who participated in Turkey Tactics went on to bag their first turkeys, and...

Wildlife biologist Amber Kornak had just started working on a bear study in Montana when she was abruptly attacked by one of her subjects - a large, male grizzly bear. Kornak stopped the attack when she deployed her bear spray, but she had to walk several miles out of the woods before making it to a hospital. The bear had chomped on her skull, and Kornak permanently lost hearing in one ear from the encounter. On this episode of Artemis, we talk about preparation when traveling in the backcountry...

Gwen Sanchez is the fire manager on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, a landscape that encompasses sagebrush habitat up to the high Sierras. Working in fire is different than it used to be. It's nearly a 12-month season across the country, and wildfires in the West are regularly breaking records for size and severity. Fire managers are also noticing that some landscapes aren't bouncing back from severe fire like they're supposed to. We talk about what makes a resilient landscape, and what ro...

This week we dive into disturbance ecology, looking at whole-forest health by zeroing in on the ruffed grouse. Grouse populations in some areas have experienced stark declines in recent decades. Some scientists call ruffed grouse a bellwether species -- what's good for the grouse is generally good for the forest. We talk about the difference between preservation and conservation, the mosaic make-up of healthy forests, and the potential of forests to be carbon sinks. 2:00 The Ruffed Grouse Societ...
