In the U.S., creating space for conservation and outdoor use is directly tied to public lands. But what do you do when most land is privately held? And how do you encourage conservation and nature appreciation in major cities like Dallas? For Joni Carswell and Texan By Nature, an organization founded by former First Lady Laura Bush, the answer comes down to everyone - businesses, nonprofits and citizens - working together to focus on what we share around the outdoors.   Catch Joni’s beliefs around conservation, her love of Texas, tips for encouraging conservation in your own backyard, plus the inside scoop on why, exactly, it always looks a little bit like the George W. Bush Presidential Library’s lawn is getting out of hand.      Mentioned in the show:   Austin, Texas El Paso, Texas Laura Bush National Parks Bird Watching Texan By Nature: https://www.texanbynature.org West Texas US Fish and Wildlife Natural Resource Management Monarchs Land restoration Biodiverse habitat pollinators Ogallala, Texas George W Bush Presidential Center Dallas, Texas Blackland Prairie  Rainwater capture Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower  Crawford Texas Texas State Parks Texas Bee Keepers Association Health benefits of going outside Texas Parks and Wildlife Texas Children in Nature Conservation Wranglers  Texas Monthly MagazineTexan By Nature 20  Guadalupe Peak, Texas   Favorite Gear:  Icebreaker Gloves  Most Essential Gear: Polarized sunglasses   Affiliate links above.

30: How Does Conservation Work With City Dwelling? (Joni Carswell)

“We say data-based because as you work with both the science community and the business community, the best way to bring those communities to the table is to talk to them in their own language. To talk in terms of return, to talk in terms total impact.” Joni Carswell on Green Connections Radio podcast Scientists are saying the coronavirus may have come from the destruction of the natural habitats of wild animals due to development, deforestation or climate change – and that there are more infectious diseases in likely our future as a result. What can we do about it besides keep “social distancing” and protect ourselves and other people? Listen to Joni Carswell, CEO of a nonprofit founded by Former First Lady Laura Bush called Texan By Nature, describe their creative data-based approach to conservation and how they are bringing the business community into habitat, water and prairie restoration, to Green Connections Radio host Joan Michelson is this podcast interview. Carswell is decidedly not your typical nonprofit CEO either….. You’ll hear:  What “return on impact” is and why it’s bringing the business community into the conservation effort – for their own bottom line, not for charity. The way they structure their partnerships so that they serve the business, the planet and all the partners. How they are “proving the science” and helping businesses and nonprofits collect and analyze data they never considered before. Why she took the leap to change careers – from never being in environmental work before. Plus great career advice!  “Look out at your path, at your history and the things that you think don’t have anything to do with one another, and use those things to innovate in your space. Because you have the single unique way of looking at a puzzle that no one else does, and…be an outlier. Use those different ways that you’ve seen the world to solve problems..” Joni Carswell on Green Connections Radio Read my Forbes blog about  their conservation approach here and on changing careers here.
