What's the Big Idea? 

Hi! I'm Zoe. I created and host this podcast. In my work and throughout my life, I have met so many people who work hard to care for our outdoor spaces in service of both our ecosystems and our communities. These folks run the gambit, from urban foresters to muralists to wildlife biologists to local community activists, and they all have stories to tell. This podcast is my way of sharing these stories that reveal the hidden connections between our outdoor spaces and each other.

Oh, you want to know a little about me too? Right now, I'm a landscape designer at Floura Teeter Landscape Architects. I'm passionate about community centered design, growing resilient landscapes, and making everything coloruful. I enjoy doing all sorts of things, including but not limited to, hiking, backpacking, plein air pastel drawing, cooking, playing the ukulele, and snuggling with my cats.
