I continually come back to this podcast to reignite my love for forestry. Matthew brings on experts in various forestry related fields and has conversations with them about who they are, what they are working on, and why their work is important to forestry. I’ve learned so much from this podcast and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to keep up to date on forestry, needs some scientific forestry inspiration, or simply wants to learn a little more about a specific topic in the industry.

This is an amazing podcast that covers a wide range of topics on the natural world and does a great job of bringing fascinating and credible people onto the show. Love it

I only just discovered this podcast over the summer but I absolutely love it! I find it so informative and always learn something new. I listen to YourForest every day on my commute and it’s always a great start to my day!

Really enjoy this show, super informative and the host seems so genuine and friendly.

So nourishing. Lately this has been my chosen source for good deep dives. I discovered these podcasts last month after following the Good Fire indigenous wildfire practice podcasts Matt co-hosts (those are also amazing). I took him up on his invitation there that if I liked Good Fire, I’d love Your Forest as well. I’m an urban, Gen X American, a conservation-minded recreationist who values the outdoors for spiritual and ecological and recreational reasons - so coming over to studying Forestry and related perspectives wasn’t a natural pairing but I wanted to give it a go out of acknowledgment of the possibility of learning from those responsible for managing forests and associated disciplines. I’ve been surprised by the deep conversations, delighted with the breadth and diversity of this show, the consistent good nature and attention of its host, and struck by how many topics are touched upon and integrated into the podcasts. Highly recommend all of these - after having checked out a couple dozen I’ve just bailed on one ; and for all the others enjoyed sticking around for the full episode, whether it’s women in the woods, leadership and practicing presence in natural resources, addressing First Nations trauma around residential schools, glyphosate impacts on biodiversity or the excellent leaps into philosophy and the study of old growth in BC. So highly recommend.

The world’s forests are one of our most important natural resources. From water to wildlife, climate to economies, recreation to spiritual renewal: forests offer us a wide range of benefits that we all can rally behind. The expert interviews shed light on this and elevate forests role in our society.

I appreciate the variety of episodes, the super practical takeaways, and the sincere humility of Matthew to share all this amazing knowledge. There is truly an episode that will benefit everyone looking to become more mindful about their consumption

I’m an environmental studies student from Nebraska and I’ve been looking for a forestry podcast like this for a long time. The interviews are inspiring, educational, and easy to listen to. I recommend this podcast to anyone who loves ecology and wants to learn about engage with great ideas in the field.

Matthew great podcast! Didn’t realize I didn’t review earlier.
