Episode #275: Beyond the Hunt: Food, Habitat, and Conservation

In this episode of Life in Motion, Jeremy talks with Jenifer Wisniewski of the National Deer Association about the bigger conservation story behind deer hunting.

Jenifer shares how hunters help fund wildlife conservation, how habitat work on public and private lands can benefit deer, pollinators, and other wildlife, and why food is such an important part of the conversation. They talk about the more than 119 million pounds of venison hunters donate each year, the value of knowing where your food comes from, and how the National Deer Association is helping adults learn to hunt through its Field to Fork programs.

It’s a conversation about stewardship, responsibility, and the many ways hunting can give back to the land and the communities around it.
