Wildlife Biologist's NATURE-FIRST Approach to Landscaping & Home Design — Ep. 269

I could listen to this dude for a long time… great interview!

It would be interesting to revisit Sam's property in the spring or summer when the plants are blooming and there's more wildlife activity. Would love to see how vibrant it is.

I'm an out of the box thinker and very curious so absolutely love these "out of the box" videos. So much to provoke creative thinking in me for my context. Love to watch folks talk about things that excite them. thank you.

Very informative vid. We could all use a neighbor like Sam.🐝

Would love to see his garden in spring,summer and fall , thanks for sharing!!!

I loved this! Thank you so much! I have a wonderful ecosystem in my yard with many snakes and bees woodpeckers, flickers ect...and I try to spread the love, however I notice most people are not as excited as I am. And sometimes even repelled. SO it is a REAL delight to see fellow nature lovers!

I love these long videos where you deep dive with an expert on a very specialist topic. Thank you.

"Nature's tragic" 😅 This was hilarious. You have access to the most interesting people. I'm always entertained and informed.

Very morally clear. I found him so refreshing.

Fabulous lecture on pollinators...Really appreciated the information.

Fascinating and very complicated, the culture of different bees. Nature is amazing. ♥🐝🐝

Sam is a treasure. Please, please let him talk uninterrupted.

This is a gold mine of information!

Thank you Sam for sharing your knowledge. Many of us don’t do because we don’t know. Hopefully all of us watching can make changes and spread the word. Summer another amazing interview. Thank you Summer and Sander 💚

I want to see this mans house, like the interior must “bee” so beautiful, especially considering the love he gives to nature!!!!

Wow he has so much interesting knowledge!!!

Excellent!! I always appreciate a classroom on pollinators . Thank you ❤

Wonderful video! I'm an architecture student interested in ecological regeneration. We need more videos like these. Thank you so much!!!!

Absolutely fascinating video. Please do go back later in the year to see Sam again. Thanks!

This was so helpful. We haven't been cutting anything down that we thought could harbor bees, but didn't realize that they don't bore in from the side, only the pith ends. So we will do some pruning and stack up some of that in places around the yard for the bees if they are interested. One observation I have had over the years, both here in Colorado and also back in central NY was that I don't usually see any of the European type honeybees until late in the summer, usually August, whereas all the other bees seem to start coming around in the spring. We were thinking of getting bees when we first moved out to Colorado, but the bear pressure is just too much. Cool video. Love listening to smart people talk about something they are passionate about - there is a lot of that on your channel with you and Sander leading the way.
