You have Questions, Patrick Boleman has Answers: a Walk with a Naturalist
Show Notes

When you’re hiking a trail, you have questions. All kinds of questions, especially if you’re hiking in the nature- and history-rich southeastern United States. What kind of tree is that? Why is it growing in this particular spot? And how did this trail come to be, anyway. Last week I had a chance to get a lot of my questions answered on a hike with Patrick Boleman, Land Stewardship manager for the eastern properties of the Triangle Land Conservancy, based on Durham, North Carolina.
