Great!
I am a certified California naturalist, and I heard about this podcast from someone on Facebook. I’m so glad I found it. Michelle does a great job. I really enjoyed the salmon and beaver episodes. And the one about Sutter Buttes! It’s all great! Looking forward to future episodes.

Golden Gate Naturalist
Have been listening since I heard about this podcast from my friend Briagha. As a docent with the Solano Land Trust with a special interest in lichen and oaks, I especially enjoyed the 4/28 Oaks episode. Besides learning so much from the interviews, I really enjoy Michelle’s interrupting them with google searches, etc. to further expound on the topic, as well as her personal asides!

The journey begins
I heard about you on FB in a Calif. native plant group, in addition to all of the spot on info from that group, THIS was so very needed! After watching a 45 minute video from Doug Tallamy, I’m sold on how even me with my tiny little patio and courtyard, I could make a difference. I’ve managed to witness 3 monarch butterflies emerge from the milkweed I have on my patio (I currently have 3 more in chrysalis), I have seen native TINY wasps, big bumble bees, birds foraging in my courtyard garden and I’m hooked! Anyways…this podcasts makes me happy, so very helpful, and affirming that I’m on the right track! Thank you!

Fun and educational
I LOVE this podcast so far! It’s like the “Ologies” for California ecology. I’ve learned so much and love hearing from experts from my own state. There is so much knowledge to glean about our natural world and I’m so grateful for Michelle for helping me learn!

SO Good!
One day I was sitting pondering all the amazing naturalists I know in the Sacramento area and thinking, “wouldn’t it be great if they were all featured in one place so more folks could share in their collective adventures and wisdom”, And POOF three days later, Michelle announced this podcast. Magic! AND the episodes are great. Michelle has fantastic interpretation skills herself and expands on ideas, gives extra info and resources in all the right places. I can’t wait to hear more from all around the state. Thank you for this wonderful podcast—it’s Golden ;)!!!

This podcast is awesome if you love California and nature. I really appreciated the fact that Michelle makes these topics accessible for people who aren’t already knowledgeable about this type of science.
