Introducing Guardians of Greenspaces — Episode 168

Happy Earth Month! On today’s episode, we’re excited to share a
collaboration with NRPA’s new podcast, Guardians of Greenspaces.


Guardians of Greenspaces is a podcast focused on
conservation from a park and recreation maintenance lens. Hosted

and environmental resilience team, Guardians of Greenspaces
uplifts voices of experts in the field and will drop weekly for
the next 10 weeks.


We recently caught up with Rukmini to learn more about this new
podcast and how it will bring value to maintenance staff working
in the conservation and environmental resilience space. Tune in
