Elisha's Eerie History

Wildlife conservation expert Dr. Jessica Roberts sits down with me as we unravel the history of the extinct Carolina parrot of North America. Jess discusses Wild Virginia’s projects, her personal inspirations, and what you as a citizen can do to advocate for the preservation of our natural world. This interview has laughs, professional insights, and eerie history that will make you sweat. Big thank you to Wild Virginia & Dr. Jessica Roberts for making this possible!Connect with Elisha:Instagram →   @elisharypkema  Linktree → https://linktr.ee/elisharypkemaWebsite → https://elisharypkema.com/Jessica Roberts, Ph.
