More about Carol…While she holds a degree in Animal Health from the University of Cincinnati, Carol’s been a nature enthusiast her whole life and claims most of her natural history knowledge is through “osmosis.” She was a Naturalist with the Hamilton County Park District in Cincinnati for nearly 30 years. For 15 years she was the “resident Naturalist” on the Denny McKeown Gardening Program on radio, where she’d take questions and helps people with urban wildlife issues. In 2004 she authored the “Herb” section of the revised edition of “The Gardening Book for Ohio” for Denny McKeown.
Today she hosts a weekly radio program WMKV in Cincinnati about the interesting and sometimes unusual aspects of nature, science and culture and does regular guest spots on GardenTalk Radio with Mark Webber on WHIO in Dayton.
