Ep 63: Connecting to nature through folklore: Interview with Kaitlyn Elverson from Bug life

Hey ecofictologists and welcome to episode 63 of the Ecofictology podcast! This week I’m introducing you to Kaitlyn Elverson, the engagement officer for Bug Life in the UK, who I found through the talks she gave for Buglife on the folklore of insects and on myth and mystery of folklore in the history of wildflowers and trees. I was fascinated and excited as I always am to find someone who turns to storytelling as a way to find connection to nature. Kaitlyn is also an musician and I will be linking all her various social medias below and i highly recommend you check her out. She sometimes uses her music to convey a particular message about nature, so see if you can spot them. I very much enjoyed my interview with kaitlyn and i hope you do too.  Folklore of Insects https://www.buglife.org.uk/events/folklore-of-insects-with-kaitlyn-elverson/  Myth, Mystery and Folklore Guided Walk https://www.buglife.org.uk/events/myth-mystery-and-folklore-guided-walk/  Kaitlyn’s music: https://soundcloud.com/kaitlynelverson  https://kaitlynelverson.bandcamp.com/album/ep-kaitlyn-elverson  Kaitlyn’s social media: https://www.instagram.com/canwefollowalice/  Join the Rewilding Our Stories discord server!
