This week on The Average Conservationist Podcast, Marcus sits down with 2% for Conservation Communication Coordinator, Brie McWade. Brie opens up the conversation talking about her background and how she found her way to 2%. Growing up in the shadows of Mt Rainier, Brie spent much of her time submerged in all things 'Pacific Northwest' and since 2017 she has spent much of her time discovering all things western, especially hiking around our National Parks. When she's not out hiking around Brie volunteers her time as a certified Master Gardener for Los Angeles Country from UC Agriculture and Natural Resources to educate on sustainable landscaping, best practices in vegetable growing, water conservation efforts and pollinator preservation. Be sure and follow Brie along on her various adventures on IG at @stateofbrie! Check out the Sportsmen's Empire Podcast Network for more relevant, outdoor content!
