EP 66. Rebecca Haynes, VP at National Audubon Society & E.D. at Audubon SC

Discover how the National Audubon Society is leading the charge in bird conservation, climate action, and habitat protection! In this episode of The Sustainable Angler podcast, host Rick Crawford interviews Rebecca Haynes, Vice President of the National Audubon Society….

Did you know that South Carolina has a long history of conservation? In fact, conservation is baked into our constitution and Audubon South Carolina continues that legacy today by working with policy makers and land owners to support habitat conservation and restoration in our state with bird- and climate- friendly forestry. Additionally, Audubon South Carolina owns and manages 30,000 acres of land at Beidler Forest and Silver Bluff where they work on longleaf pine restoration, natural climate solutions, and provide an example for other land owners for how to manage their own land. 

That’s why I am stoked to share my interview with Rebecca Haynes who is the Executive Director at Audubon South Carolina, and Vice President at National Audubon Society. We take a deep dive into the environmental threats to birds, such as climate change and habitat loss, which contributes to the global trend in biodiversity loss, and Rebecca shares all the good work Audubon SC is doing to protect and restore habitat for birds and other species. I hope you enjoy!
