Michael Smith is an Arlington-based writer and naturalist. He is author of two books on reptiles and amphibians and a new book Mindfulness in Texas Nature, published by Texas A&M University Press in July. The book draws on his expertise in regional ecology as well as his 35-year career as a Psychological Associate.

Texas Green Report reporter Marshall Hinsley talks to Smith about how to practice mindfulness in various Texas ecoregions, our resistance to it and what we gain by incorporating nature and mindfulness into our lives.
