episode DISASTER RESPONSE AND MITIGATION: ACE STEPS UP TO HELP COMMUNITIES cover

DISASTER RESPONSE AND MITIGATION: ACE STEPS UP TO HELP COMMUNITIES

Following a natural disaster when the initial sirens fade, the long road to recovery begins. In this episode, we dive into how conservation corps like ACE are uniquely equipped for the long-haul work of disaster recovery. ACE Division Director Nikki Jones and National Director of Crew Programs Adam Scherm share how ACE has helped those in need. From the front lines of Hurricane Helene in Asheville to wildfire recovery in Hawaii and typhoon relief in Guam, discover how conservation crews pivot their specialized technical skills such as advanced chainsaw work and complex logistics to rebuild communities in crisis.  Nikki also shares what it was like to start her new role as director the very day after a devastating hurricane hit her home base. This episode shares how ACE’s capacity extends beyond chainsaws but provides a heart-first, technical approach that includes everything from setting up large donation centers to ‘muck and gut’ work for residents who want to return to their homes. ACE also helps restore natural habitats on public lands devastated by disasters.

FINDING PURPOSE IN CONSERVATION: STORIES OF STEWARDSHIP AND CONNECTION

In this episode of American Conservation Experience, host Elyse Cogburn explores the power of conservation and community with guests Silas Patten and Ellen Bley.

Their stories remind us that conservation is not just about protecting nature; it’s about belonging to something larger than ourselves. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that celebrates curiosity, resilience, and the many ways we can all contribute to the future of our shared lands.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
