Description
Refuge Radio is a podcast about the National Wildlife Refuge Association and the nation’s National Wildlife Refuge System, spanning more than 850 million acres of land and water as part of a growing network of 568 refuges — at least one in every state.
Today we are speaking with Steve Jester. Steve is the Executive Director for Partners for Conservation (PFC). Prior to joining PFC, Steve was the Executive Director of the Guadalupe-Blanco River Trust. Steve was on the staff of The Nature Conservancy for almost a decade leading community-based conservation projects first in Texas and later in Wyoming. Before joining The Nature Conservancy, he spent a decade working with state fish and wildlife agencies in Florida and Texas.
Steve is a sixth-generation Texan who has worked with private landowners throughout his career and has come to appreciate their critical importance in conserving working landscapes that provide for both people and nature in the United States.
