The Mike Nowak Show
Doug Tallamy on Fighting to Save Trees and Natural Areas
Author and educator Doug Tallamy returns to the show to talk about the importance of protecting and creating spaces to promote biodiversity. Jeannette Hoyt from Save Jackson Park and David J. Nowak from the USDA Forest Service in Syracuse, New York, discuss the damage done to local ecosystems--and urban neighborhoods--by removing large swaths of trees, which is happening with the construction of the Obama Presidential Center on Chicago's south side.
