Field Notes: A Vet Voice Foundation Podcast is where we interview veterans employed, advocating, or share a special connection within the conservation and public lands space. The arc of each episode begins with past experiences in the military, reintegration, and the outdoors. We examine how the outdoors has helped many veterans “walk off the war” reconnect with their communities and loved ones, and transition into new career paths.
