Wonders In The Wild: Exploring the Arc of Appalachia

Dive into the heart of wildlands preservation with ”Wonders In The Wild,” the official podcast of the Arc of Appalachia, hosted by Wade Hamilton. This podcast explores the incredible work of a 30-year-old nonprofit dedicated to protecting the earth’s ancient, complex natural communities, focusing on ”beauty, balance, and biodiversity” across the Appalachian heartland of Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Having successfully preserved over 14,000 acres and developed 80 miles of public hiking trails, the Arc is currently undertaking its largest monetary endeavor to date, the ”Five Miles on the Gauley” land campaign, aiming to acquire a 1336-acre property in West Virginia. Each episode brings to life the Arc’s diverse operations, from active land stewardship and crucial species research that uncovers ”off the charts” biodiversity of rare animals like Green Salamanders and endangered timber rattlesnakes, to vital watershed conservation and educational programs that foster ”forest literacy.” Listeners will also learn about the pivotal role of philanthropic initiatives, including legacy gifts and major fundraising campaigns, in building ”Stewardship Forever Funds” that ensure the perpetual protection of these irreplaceable landscapes.
