If we asked nature, what would it reveal about the landscapes we walk through every day?

“Every single shape, every color we see is a solution to a certain problem.”  
—Tristan Gooley

As we AskNature to help us read the clues and signs of the more than human world, natural navigator Tristan Gooley reminds us that nothing in nature is random and everything is connected.

This week's AskNature Podcast unpacks the two pillars of way finding and you'll learn how a simple five minute walk can unlock your brain’s evolutionary potential.
