Episode 16: Should We Be Concerned About Crown Land Spraying? w/ James Alofs

Diaries of a Lodge Owner

This week on the Outdoor Journal Radio Podcast Network's, Diaries of a Lodge Owner, we tackle a large topic - the health of our ecosystems and shed some light on what's happening in Northern Ontario.
When you own a business that revolves around, and literally lives inside an ecosystem,a prudent owner knows it's crucial to protect it. We sell experiences based in nature that revolve around clean water, fresh air, and the stunning beauty of the flora and fauna within. One of my greatest joys was sharing with my guests the extraordinary beauty of nature in a way that very few could and, over the years, I was always involved in protecting our resources in any way possible and that continues to this day.
So when I found this passionate, ambitious young man doing the same thing, I had to jump on board. This host of the Wild Ontario Podcast can be found on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts. And it is my pleasure to introduce to you, James Alofs.
On this show, we focus on the use of glyphosates, one of the most controversial chemicals on the planet. Some studies say this herbicide does not affect the health of the environment at all. Some studies say it is a probable cause of cancer in humans. What else is affected? Why is it used? And is it necessary? And with the health of our ecosystems in mind, should we be doing something about it? You be the judge.
So if you want to know what's going on in our outdoors, you need to take this one in. And I think you will be stunned to find out what's going on right under our noses.
