Guest producers Sadie Couture and Russell Gendron explore the concept of invasive species through a look at a small island community, a species doing some serious damage to the ecosystem, and the complex issues at play when a plant or animal moves into a new territory.\n\nSadie and Russell talk to current and former residents of Mayne Island, Indigenous elders, and conservation professionals to think through what it means to call something an \u201cinvasive species,\u201d how to manage our ever-changing relationships to plants and animals, and how we might prepare for the certainty of change in the future.\n\nThis episode was originally a short piece on the Mayne Island Sound Map, entitled \u201cThe Joy of Cooking Fenison.\u201d\n\n\u2013 \u2013 \u2013\n\nWe rely on listener support to make this work possible.\n\nSupport Future Ecologies for $1/month, and join the producers for a discord Ask-Us-Anything on February 3rd\n\nwww.patreon.com/futureecologies\n\n\u2013 \u2013 \u2013\n\nFor musical credits, citations, and more, visit www.futureecologies.net
