In episode 113 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, I interview author Elizabeth Hilborn, about her new book Restoring Eden. The book is at once a riveting environmental detective story, an inspiring account of citizen advocacy, and a gorgeous ode to the fragile ecosystems that nourish us, both physically and spiritually.
Dr. Elizabeth Hilborn is a veterinarian who specializes in honey bee medicine. She uses her veterinary training and broad scientific expertise to shine a light on the interconnectedness of all life; she fully recognizes the power of the pollinator/plant partnership that supports, sustains, and nurtures life on earth. An avid gardener and fruit grower, for decades she’s fed family and friends with fresh produce from her family’s farm in central North Carolina. For over 25 years, she’s served as an environmental health scientist with the US Environmental Protection Agency where she studies and writes in scientific journals about the health effects of water pollution.
