- Nature
In this episode, we bring on Mat Seidensticker, director and founder of the Northern Rockies Research and Education Services, the non-profit that we learned about in our last episode. In this episode, however, we brought on the Director to gain a bigger picture of how a science-based non-profit works, what other projects they have going on, their partnership with MPG ranch, what DNA barcoding is, and so much more. Mat also shares with us a crazy story from the field as well as some ways that you can help the project, and our climate!

Ways you can help:
Contact the Montana Moth Project (through their website, to tell them you would like to get involved!)
Plant wildflowers and let your yard go wild!
Post pictures of moths you take (and other insectivores!) on iNaturalist
Join a mothing night! Learn how to do it, and then you could set up your own and contribute to the data collection. (Mothing nights happen often in the summers at Montana Audubon Center and ZooMontana)
