Episode description

Happy Earth Day! The annual event celebrating environmental protections is observed across the globe. But did you know it was a Wisconsin senator who formalized the event? And that’s not all. The University of Wisconsin-Madison has been home to some of the most prolific environmentalists of the last two centuries, and the work of Wisconsin’s Tribal Nations has kept the state an environmental leader. To celebrate Earth Day and learn more about Wisconsin’s conservationist history, we spoke to Curt Meine, a senior fellow with the Aldo Leopold Foundation.
