In this episode, I sit down with Mike Clough, the director of the southern Vermont history museum. The Museum features a gigantic natural history collection, live birds that guests can interact with, and a staff of volunteers who put in their own time to care for this piece of Vermont's history. We cover the history of the museum, different approaches to education, some anecdotes about the birds we have the privilege to work with, and the future of the museum, as well as riffing on the benefits of interacting with live animals as a gateway into an outdoor lifestyle.
