Field Sources
An Environmental Source Desk
FIELD SOURCES
Environmental stories are undercovered partly because experts are hard to find. Naturalists, science communicators, curriculum designers, field educators, and community-based practitioners do work directly relevant to the stories science communicators and environmental writers pursue, but they don’t appear in the usual source databases and usually don’t have communication specialists on staff.
Field Sources is a curated roster of environmental and sustainability practitioners who have agreed to be available to people who want to speak to them.
WHO THIS SERVICE IS FOR
You
You’re working on a story about the environment, sustainability practices, informal learning, or community-based science. You need a credible, responsive source — and you need them quickly. Field Sources is free for journalists, writers, podcast hosts, conference organizers, and others who want to speak with credible sources.
Practitioners
You have expertise that leaders need but can’t find. You’re willing to be interviewed, you can speak to a deadline, and you want your work to reach a wider audience. This matching service is for practitioners with a verified body of work who demonstrate impact and practice transparently and ethically. Applicants will complete a form with essential information, which we'll package for science communicators and other leaders looking for sources.
HOW FIELD SOURCES WORKS
You share your angle. Let me know what you’re working on — the story, the event, the kind of voice you’re looking for.
I make the introduction. A warm, direct introduction — with enough context for both parties to decide if the conversation is worth having.
You take it from there. The source relationship belongs to you. I step back after the introduction.
Field Sources is free for science writers, event organizers, journalists, and podcast hosts. We select practitioners for their body of work and transparent practice.
