Tice Supplee has had a remarkable career in wildlife management and conservation. She served as a game warden in Arizona, and after retirement she became active in conservation groups like the Arizona Antelope Foundation and the Arizona Elk Society. These days she works in bird conservation, and we discuss habitat restoration. What's good for elk is often good for birds - it's a win-win. Plus: Zuni bowls, sourdough victories, condor reintroduction and more. Also: Artemis has a giveaway going on! Take our podcast listener survey for a chance to win a $100 gift card to Isle Royale Outfitters.
