Oswego, NY – You may have heard the commentaries of John Weeks on "The Nature of Things" on WRVO's Morning Edition Friday. For over two decades, his weekly broadcast has taken us on a guided tour of the forests, rivers, and wildlife in our region, as well as the occasional nature walk in our backyard.

John's early fascination with our world has led to a career in environmental advocacy that has spanned over 60 years.

"Nature of Things" producer Mark Lavonier recently met with John to learn a bit more about the "nature of a naturalist."
