We talk with experts about Leave No Trace guidelines, as well as other considerations for protecting and preserving Maine's woods, waters, and other natural areas. This program is part of Maine Public's new outdoor series "Borealis."

Jonathan was born in Monsey, New York. A field trip to Washington, DC when he was in 7th grade started him on his circuitous path to a career in public radio. The trip inspired a love of politics and led to his desire to one day call DC home. After graduating from Grinnell College, he worked on a couple of campaigns in Iowa (presidential and congressional) and moved to Washington, DC.
