In this episode of The Lake Doctor Podcast, we welcome Nate Simons, Executive Director of Blue Heron Ministries and a long-time leader in ecological restoration. During our discussion, we will explore what it means to be stewards of the land. Nate shares stories from decades of restoring native habitats like prairies and wetlands across Indiana and offers a hopeful vision for how thoughtful human intervention can reverse ongoing damage and strengthen ecosystems.
From reintroducing native wetland like fens to restoring ecosystems with fire, Nate helps us understand how care and collaboration can lead to lasting environmental impact. This episode will equip and encourage you to see your role in the bigger picture of creation care.
