Where There's a Wilderness
Where There's a Wilderness takes you on a journey into the heart of outdoor education. It's your (every other) weekly dose of wilderness in audio form.
I'm Robbo, an outdoor educator and student of nature. My passion is to uncover the powerful connections between people and wild places. I love delving into the different viewpoints that people have and listening to their stories.
Each campfire will feature a guest or a topic to explore. So, whether you're an educator seeking fresh perspectives, a student exploring environmental education, or simply someone who feels that primal pull towards untamed places, there's a spot for you around our campfire.
New episodes are released every other Wednesday.
Join the Pack, stay wild! 🌲🐺
Where There's a Wilderness
From Thick to Thin: How Nature Builds Community
Ever wondered how a simple trail could weave an entire community together? Grab your backpack and join Robbo around the campfire as we venture into the heart of outdoor education's most powerful secret - its ability to build community. From the ancient cedar forests of Japan to the windswept Scottish Highlands, we'll discover how different cultures have been using nature as their classroom and community builder for generations. Dive into fascinating research that reveals why those casual chats with fellow hikers might be just as valuable as your closest trail partnerships. Plus, take on our Wild Whim challenge and start creating your own community connections. So pull up a log, settle in, and let's explore how the wilderness isn't just about solitude - it's about bringing people together.
