Episode 90: The Gift of the Lost Episode

Happy Holidays feral friends!  For this special episode I give you the gift of the "lost" episode of the Dispatches from the Forest Podcast.  Truly the very first, never-before-released episode that started it all.  It's a history of Fontenelle Forest Nature Center, both as an organization, and a a spot on on the map - and it's an incredibly interesting story!  Featuring an interview with Fontenelle's historian, Katherine Kuper.
