Tallahassee Tree Talks

About Tallahassee Tree Talks

Host Daniel Siegel talks to citizens of Tallahassee about their knowledge, experiences, and stories that relate to trees. Trees are a defining characteristic of the identity and culture of Tallahassee. North Florida is a hotspot of tree diversity, and the people of Tallahassee are as varied as its forests. Across eight episodes, get ready to hear from a county forester, several certified arborists, artists, extension agents, college students, and others. These guests and their stories offer insight into the interactions between people and trees. This podcast was sponsored by a grant from the Sunshine State Biodiversity Group, a Tallahassee-based non-profit focused on Florida-based environmental education and cultural programming. This podcast is funded by the Sunshine State Biodiversity Group in Tallahassee, FL, a nonprofit aimed at conservation, education, and community outreach on environmental issues facing the region.
