Dr Judy Friedlander: Planting Seeds & the B&B Highway

In this episode of Unstress with Dr. Ron Ehrlich, I’m joined by Dr. Judy Friedlander, founder of the Planting Seeds initiative and creator of the B&B Highway, a groundbreaking program that’s turning urban spaces into thriving biodiversity corridors. Dr. Judy shares her journey from high-level journalism to environmental advocacy, explains why pollinators like bees, butterflies, and bats are crucial to our ecosystems, and dives into the alarming decline in biodiversity. We discuss the practical actions individuals, schools, and corporations can take to create pollinator-friendly habitats and reverse species loss. From fascinating insights on Australia’s 2,000 native bee species to actionable steps for building gardens and habitats, this episode is packed with hope and solutions. Whether you’re a seasoned environmentalist or new to the conversation, discover how small actions can lead to big changes for biodiversity and the planet. Tune in and learn how we can all help move pollinators and ecosystems from threatened to thriving.
