Welcome back to another episode of The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast. I’m Paul Vogelzang, and we’re broadcasting from just outside of Washington, D.C. Please check out our show notes today for more information about Smithsonian Associates and their wonderful programs.  The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series is the definitive platform where we explore the frontiers of health, wellness, and the art of extraordinary living beyond 60. and is dedicated to fostering thoughtful dialogues on subjects that matter. Today, we have a special guest, Smithsonian Associates Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell, and today we have a special episode that tackles the pressing issues of climate change and biodiversity loss.

Our guests today are Smithsonian Associates Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell, authors of the groundbreaking new book, available at Apple Books, “The Book of Wilding.” This book serves as both a practical guide and a beacon of hope for those who wish to make a meaningful impact on our planet.

The enormity of climate change and biodiversity loss can often leave us feeling overwhelmed. But Isabella and Charlie are here to show us that nature can bounce back spectacularly if given the chance. Their work not only results in wildlife in abundance but also offers solutions to other environmental crises, brings public awareness and has transformed their own property, opening it to countless people walking footpaths and moving to action.

That, of course, is Isabella Tree reading from the book she and our other guest, Charlie Burrell, have written titled “The Book of Wilding.” 

We will talk today with Smithsonian Associates Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell to tackle questions that could redefine our relationship with Mother Earth:

• Can we dare to believe that humans have the power to restore planetary balance?
• What’s holding us back from making rewilding a global movement?
• What can each of us do right now to become agents of rewilding?

So, whether you have acres of land or just a small garden, stay tuned as we explore how each of us can play a part in restoring nature and combating climate change.  Please join me in welcoming you to  The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast Smithsonian Associates Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell.
