Cuddle up with the September 'Wildtalk' podcast episode

In this episode of the award-winning "Wildtalk" podcast, we talk with Ashley Cole-Wick from Michigan Natural Features Inventory about the work the organization does for Michigan's rare species. Then, we fly away with a discussion about the trumpeter swan and wrap up the episode with a chat about the northern long-eared bat. Pete Kailing also stops in to talk about hunting and trapping opportunities and more that are available this month.
