In The Old Naturalist you'll learn about some of the luminaries of Toledo area conservation, some current trends in environmental news, whether Eric can remember the birds, bees, or butterflies, and occasionally what beer or whiskey they would recommend you try. The Old Naturalist is a light hearted, easy listen for any nature lover.
