Forest Educator Spotlight: Five Nature Program Marketing Mistakes (and how to fix them!)
Listen now
Description
It's understandable that most nature program directors or entrepreneurs are better trackers, or basketmakers, or wild foods gatherers than they are at marketing and promoting their programs.   Those things are what we are passionate about, so it makes sense.
