Outdoor Ethics, Public Lands, and the State of Conservation with Mitch Warnick (EP. 004)
For my return to podcasting and my 4th episode in The Drop Off series I had the privilege of speaking with my good friend and colleague Mitch Warnick. Mitch holds a Master’s Degree in Environmental Management, and currently works for the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics.
Mitch grew up backpacking in the southeast and setting out for extended family road trips to National Parks and National Forests across the west. These experiences instilled a deep love for the natural world and public lands later in life, which he has now dedicated his academic and professional careers to. Whether it's managing major programs for Leave No Trace, participating in philosophical debate about what wilderness is, or using his photography to inspire folks to get out and see the natural world around them--his goal is to build a culture of love, appreciation, and support for our public lands, protected habitats, and the Earth as a whole.
In this conversation Mitch & Joe discussed how outdoor ethics can be better managed and mainstreamed, what professionals in the field are focusing on today to further this mission, the direction of conservation in American politics and society, the best conservation land-uses and much more.
