Episode 079: Sporting Lead-Free w/ Hannah Leonard

The Bird Dog Babe

Hannah Leonard is the outreach coordinator for Sporting Lead-Free, a collaborative initiative to nationally reduce lead consumed inadvertently by wildlife and people. Hannah is an avid fly fisher and hunter. Her personal encounter with a leaded golden eagle ignited her desire to educate others in the use of non-lead alternatives not only for the benefit of wildlife and human health, but for the continuation of our hunting heritage.
