CONSERVATION CAST E.17 with Joey Santore

During this episode of the Conservation Cast, Maya spoke with Joey Santore of the Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't Youtube Channel. Santore is a self-taught amateur botanist who describes his content as a “low-brow and crass approach to plant ecology as muttered by a misanthropic Chicago Italian". Together, the duo discussed Joey's fascinating story from being a college dropout to illegally riding freight trains across the United States all while expanding his knowledge of the natural world.

Natural Resources Defense Council

Maya’s community raised $560 for the Natural Resources Defense Council, an organization working to safeguard the earth, its inhabitants, and the natural systems upon which all life depends.
