What if some of the most incredible nature experiences aren’t across the world, but right outside your door? In this episode, Ginny talks with wildlife filmmaker and “America’s Nature Guy” Peter Schriemer about helping families rediscover the extraordinary wildlife, landscapes, and adventures hiding in ordinary places. Peter shares how a childhood filled with homeschooling, curiosity, and freedom outdoors eventually led to a career creating nature films, and why conservation begins with learning to love what’s in our own backyards.
Peter also takes us behind the scenes of his Beyond Your Doorstep series, exploring America’s often-overlooked National Wildlife Refuges. From migrating bobolinks and bizarre “timberdoodles” to rare salamanders, bison, wetlands, and urban wildlife, the conversation is a reminder of just how much is happening around us when we slow down enough to notice.
Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to give kids time, space, and freedom outside. As Peter puts it, you have to be outside to see stuff—and one ordinary afternoon in nature can become an adventure you’ll remember forever.
STAY TUNED and follow along here for exciting things coming from Peter soon!
