Host Chris Morgan has a conversation with Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant about her passion for bears and improving access to wilderness conservation.

Back in May, I had a conversation with wildlife biologist Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant. It was a live event on YouTube. Thanks to all of you who joined us that evening.

If you weren’t able to make it, here is your chance. We are sharing the full conversation with you here today. And I’d like to thank my friends over at Conservation Northwest for sponsoring this event.

Dr. Wynn-Grant is a fellow bear nerd so you can believe we talked about bears. But we also talked about access to nature and ways to remove barriers so everyone can feel comfortable and connected to wilderness. I had a lovely time speaking with Rae. She is one of the best science communicators I’ve ever met. I am sure you will love her as well. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
