About the Show:
The NEW Outdoor Elements Webisodes can be found right here on the Outdoor Elements Web Page and also on Facebook and Youtube every Wednesday. Viewers can join host Evie Kirkwood and explore the region's parks, lakes, forests, dunes and more without leaving home. Along the way Evie and guests share their considerable knowledge on things like Bald Eagles, Coyote, Grass Frogs, Acorns, Paw Paw, and Native and Invasive Species to name a few. Get information about things you may encounter along a nature trail with Evie's Field Guides. And find answers to some of your own questions through Viewer Questions.
