In this week’s episode, Chelsea interviews artist, educator, and “unlawning” advocate Professor Brian Collier, whose projects fuse his passion for research, art, and ecology to bring attention to issues relating to climate change and ecological rehabilitation. Brian is the founder of The Society for a Re-Natural Environment. Join us as Brian shares practical advice from over 20 years of engaging with communities to improve sustainability outcomes through unlawning and the re-naturalizing of unused spaces in yards and communities.

Unlawing creates thriving pollinator ecosystems, and natural habitats for native species. For more information about unlawning and re-natural environments or to contact Professor Brian D. Collier, visit: https://unlawningamerica.societyrne.net/ or https://briandcollier.net/
