In this eye-opening episode of The Tiberius Show, Tiberius sits down with David Epstein, President of The Land Conservancy of New Jersey, to explore what it really means to protect land, preserve forests, save wildlife habitats, and create a better future for the next generation. David shares how he helped preserve more than 30,000 acres of land, worked with over 9,000 volunteers, and helped protect everything from forests and farms to hiking trails and community gardens. Along the way, he explains why conservation matters, how renewable energy works, and why getting outside is more important than ever in a world full of screens.
