25: A Natural History of the Pineywoods (Part 2): Settlers, Steamboats and Market Hunting, with Jim Neal
Wednesday, 28 December, 2022
In the previous episode we traveled back to a time when the Pineywoods featured mammoths and saber toothed tigers. Then we worked our way forward through the arrival of the first humans and their indigenous successors. Today we'll pick up the story at the arrival of first Europeans. Conservationist Jim Neal will tell us what the European presence meant - not only for the region's native inhabitants but also for the flora and fauna of the Pineywoods.
