Michelle Barton is an environmental specialist with LA Sanitation and Environment; she runs both their biodiversity and healthy soils programs. In this episode we discuss their current and upcoming projects, community science, what being an environmental specialist actually means, and so much more. I encourage anyone in LA to get involved with the summer Bioblitz challenge to help track local biodiversity. Thank you so much for listening and I hope you enjoy!
