Getting my Hands Dirty with Cam Ogilvie

Today, I sat down with Cam Ogilvie, who I've been fortunate enough to spend the day at work with, in the field, and learned from him and what he does. Now, I get to sit down and discuss it with him in my living room. And so we had a great conversation about soil health and what that means to us as a society. We got to talk about so many interesting things and did it all in a new timeframe of 30 minutes. I hope the 30 minutes is a great time for you. It's a nice little time for me, it makes editing a lot shorter. We got a lot in there in 30 minutes. I think you'll enjoy it. Some of the topics we covered are: Soil health monitoring, What is soil health?, How do you teach about soil health? Not letting perfect be the enemy of good, What's soil health going to look like in the not-so-distant future, and of course the definition of dirt versus soil. What does it mean? Thank you so much for tuning in and I'll let you jump into the episode! 00:25 - What is Soil Health Monitoring? 2:47 - How do you get people to care about soil? 5:04 - How did Cam get interested in Soil work? 8:40 - Is our relationship with soil based on reciprocity? 11:35 - Teaching to rejuvenate the soil 13:12 - Grower’s moment of discovery 17:25 - Favorite part of the job 19:11 - Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good 21:24 - Soil Health in the Not-so-distant future 25:50 - Soil Efficiency 28:30 - Definition of Dirt vs Soil 29:35 - Take Away Mentioned Resources 5:44 - Cry, The Beloved Country - Allan Paton 19:22 - Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life - Anne Lamott 20:29 - The Effectiveness Equation 30:35 - SoilHealthInstitute.org 30:47 - Soilsatguelph.ca

Cycling for Nature: Leanna and Timm's Journey Across Canada and Beyond

On this episode of Vistas & Voices, I speak with Canada’s first female decathalete Leanna Carriere and ecologist Dr. Timm Döbert, the founders of Wings of Survival who have recently finished cycling 7,000 km across Canada in 30 days, overnighting at Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) along the way. The ride across Canada is a preparation ride for their epic adventure starting next year, where they plan to ride from Alaska to Patagonia, mimicking the migratory path of the Whimbrel. In our discussion we cover topics related to endurance athletes and nutrition, the highlights and challenges of riding 7,000km in 30 days, Key Biodiversity Areas and their significance to Canada, the role of grasslands in Canada’s ability to sequester carbon, science communication, Canada and the 30x30 conservation initiative and much more.
