Jennifer, You were wondering about materials to use in the Podcasts. I might suggest that there are some older historical essays that could be voiced. For example John Muir wrote a longer essay entitled "American Forests" in 1897 from which excerpts could be taken. This is public domain material now so that is not a problem. http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/toc/modeng/public/MuiAmer.html
There is a large amount of Muir material available at http://www.archive.org even some existing voice recordings put into public domain by their readers. http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=John%20muir One of the spots in Massachusetts where ENTS visit is Bryant Woods, on the homestead of William Cullen Bryant. He also is well represented in the archive: http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=william%20cullen%20bryant The is a posting of the poem the Rivulet on a plaque along the trail through the woods: http://www.nativetreesociety.org/events/forestsummit2/forest_summit_ii.htm These would not be the meat of the podcasts for ENTS but could serve as some variety linking the work we are doing now to the past.
