    Make it Relational with Filip Tkaczyk

    On this episode, Matt talks with Filip Tkaczyk of the Raven's Roots Naturalist school about how we as naturalists can make our practice more relational. We might say that the relational approach means being able to step back and appreciate the connections between species and within natural communities. This is a great skill/mindset for broadening our awareness and deepening our understanding and our relationship with the natural world.
