  • Episode 16 - A Tale of Three Oases
    Dec 19 2024

    It’s year-end, and we’re highlighting three remarkable TPL projects in this month’s podcast.

    In our “People,” segment, we talk with a Philadelphia principal who chased her dream and brought a schoolyard to her community. In our “Nature” segment, we learn about a new wildlife management area—twice the size of Central Park—located just outside downtown Minneapolis. And in our third segment, our “Big Idea,” an old golf course is “rewilded” in fire-prone Marin, California, to create a place of resilience, safety, and community.

  • Episode 15 - Grace in Every Step: Reflections on Non-Profit Leadership with Queta Gonzalez
    Nov 19 2024

    This month, People. Nature. Big Ideas. host Ronda Lee Chapman chats with Queta Gonzalez—the outgoing director of Center for Diversity and the Environment—about Queta’s fifteen years working at the intersection of equity and the outdoors. This expansive conversation covers democracy, internalizing DEI at your organization, career tips for those working in the non-profit space, and a revolutionary (or a Big Idea, at least!) new advancement in the role of pay equity.
