Jefry Train and Don Torino

Bergen County Audubon Society President Don Torino welcomes Jeffry Train of “Our Tern” to his radio show, The Nature Connection, on Sunday, Aug. 23, from 6:30 a.m. to 7 a.m.

Jeffry is a founder of Our Tern. Initially formed to protect Hoboken’s colony of nesting terns, the organization has since grown its mission to safeguard all avian life in city environments. Read more about Our Tern here

The Nature Connection airs on the fourth Sunday of each month from 6:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. on WFDU 89.1 FM. The show was inspired by WFDU-FM General Manager and DJ Opie, a frequent participant in BCAS Nature Walks guided by Torino.

“You cannot care about nature until you can connect with it,” Don has said. He also stated that the most critical threat to the environment is a disconnect between people and the natural world around them – thus the show’s name.
