Welcome to Biocitizen Banter, a podcast dedicated to environmental philosophy featuring lively discussions between people active in the effort to bring biotic health to our communities and commonwealth.

In this episode Program Director of Biocitizen LA, Benny Jacobs-Schwartz interviews Parker Davis, the Director of Marketing and Communications at the Hahamongna Native Plant Nursery.  

Davis is a Pasadena native with a background in fine arts, he has an aesthetic obsession with California native plants. He works with volunteers, propagating plants for restoring natural areas & beautifying the local community’s neighborhoods and public spaces.

The Hahamongna Native Plant Nursery is a project of the Arroyo Seco Foundation, one of Biocitizen LA’s local partners, and is an amazing classroom we use to share the importance of native plants with our students!

Enjoy their discussion about how hyper-local native plants, habitat restoration, political activism and education are all related to the goal of reintroducing the endangered Southern California Steelhead Trout to the Arroyo Seco River.
