Roaming the Red Hills is a series of 10 short videos exploring the natural soul of the Red Hills of Florida and Georgia. It will air in three installments on WFSU-TV\’s Local Routes, starting Thursday, March 31 at 7:30 pm ET. We get to know endanger species in fire dependent longleaf habitat. We get wet in rivers and lakes, and learn the many ways people depend on our abundant natural resources.
Rob Diaz de Villegas is a senior producer for television at WFSU Public Media, covering outdoors and ecology. After years of producing the music program OutLoud, Rob found himself in a salt marsh with a camera, and found a new professional calling as well. That project, the National Science Foundation funded "In the Grass, On the Reef," spawned the award-winning WFSU Ecology Blog. Now in its tenth year, the Ecology Blog recently wrapped its most ambitious endeavor, the EcoCitizen Project.
Rob is married with two young sons, who make a pretty fantastic adventure squad.
