This One's About... Dan Ellens

In this episode of “This One’s About…,” we sit down with Dan Ellens, author of Forest Legend: The Tale of Ol’ Split Toe. Through the eyes of a remarkable deer traveling across centuries, Ellens explores the evolving relationship between humans and the natural world—from ancient forests and Indigenous hunters to modern industry and future science. It’s a thoughtful, imaginative conversation about environmental balance, history, and the enduring question: can humanity learn to live in harmony with nature?
