About me
and the show

My name is Devon Bowker. Ím a naturalist, high school science teacher, father, podcaster, writer, and geek of all trades. This is my passion project.

The Wild Life blog + podcast is my place of exploration, and I hope it can be for you, too. I started this in 2017 and, for years, I’ve had a hard time landing. It’s only recently I decided it’s okay to fly. To create, to seek, to adventure, to find yourself immersed in wonder and oneness with the natural world–that’s what I hope to do with this blog and podcast. Anything and everything from answering small questions to diving deep into the science. The Wild Life blog + podcast follows the threads that connect us all, no matter how thin or how small. I appreciate you being here.

This is a wonderful podcast that really helps combine a passion for the natural world with storytelling and the human experience. A big part of conservation is about connecting people with the natural world and inspiring them to care about it, and the hosts have done a great job of doing that.

I’ve really enjoyed getting into The Wild Life. The hosts bring an earnestness and kindness to the show that is incredibly endearing. It’s funny and informative and a great learning experience for the whole family.

Love it! Informative and fun! As a listener, I get to learn whilst having a giggle! The Wild Life is my favourite podcast and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to ‘branch’ out. (that worked…)

“I listened to your new episode. It is a dark and difficult time and your words opened my eyes wide and went straight into my being. I hope you can get the support you need as a teacher and a parent. You seem like a beautiful human. I’m new to this podcast world but your work is lovely.
