ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, Will and Chris Barnard, the President of the American Conservation Coalition, discuss the state of conservation in America and why it's a conservative value.

They also discuss lurking dangers and disasters in America's natural world, from PFAS in the water and the budding Western water crisis to overtaxed American topsoil, along with what might help fix those issues.
