The Great Outdoors

Jenn Hoare’s kids are living a childhood much like her own. Before she begins her own story of becoming the Algonquin Provincial Park biologist, she starts with stories of the past weekend’s family canoe trip. Accounts of sunshine on calm lakes, toddlers falling asleep in canoes and the subsequent mayhem of unpacking from overnighting in Algonquin tumble out. For the Park’s biologist, enjoying the ecosystems she works hard to protect is not a perk of the job, but a way of life.

🎙EPISODE 2 is out now 👉 Jon Turk earned a Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 1971 and was nominated by National Geographic as one of the Top Ten Adventurers of the Year in 2012. Between those bookends, he co-authored the first college-level environmental science textbook in North America, (plus 35 other texts) and five books about his many adventures —which include kayaking around Cape Horn and across the North Pacific from Japan to Alaska, a circumnavigation of Ellesmere Island, and made numerous first ski descents and first rock climbing ascents around the globe. With his (allegedly last) book Tracking Lions, Myth and Wilderness in Samburu hitting stores this September, Mountain Life caught up with Jon to talk about dirtbags, the power of nature, living in the moment, and how the stories we tell, and are told, have shaped human history.
