The Wandering Naturalist

Booking Overview

A regional natural-history and environmental science interview show focused on parks, wildlife, habitat, and conservation in Minnesota, with recurring interviews featuring researchers, conservation professionals, park staff, and subject-matter experts. Credible pitches include wildlife biologists, ecologists, migration researchers, habitat-restoration specialists, and public-land or conservation leaders; booking difficulty is likely low because guests are generally accessible professionals rather than high-profile public figures.
