Chris Bedel, Director of the Richard and Lucile Durrell Edge of Appalachia Preserve System, Cincinnati Museum Center

Did you know that Cincinnati Museum Center co-owns and manages (with The Nature Conservancy) a nature preserve in Adams County Ohio? The Richard and Lucile Durrell Edge of Appalachia Preserve System is a hotspot of biodiversity located on the edges of the Appalachian mountain chain. For over 30 years, Chris Bedel has been CMC's man on the outside, managing the care, protection and research of one of Ohio's wildest spaces. We'll talk to Chris about how he ended up living on the Edge, what it means to be a nature savior, and the importance of the Eastern Forest ecosystem.
