Hopeful By Nature

There are people all over the world connecting kids and communities to the natural world in ways that build hope and a genuine desire to protect the places where we play. Most of them will never make the news. Hopeful by Nature goes to find them. Hosted by Scott Shepherd, dad, educator, and founder of Wildward Institute, each episode is a conversation with someone who saw a gap and built a bridge. From ocean educators and activists across the globe to conservationists in your backyard — these are the stories that remind us what's still possible. New episodes every week.

Looking for guests who are unsung heroes in environmental education and conservation, bridging gaps between communities and nature, and inspiring action and hope through innovative grassroots initiatives.
