Last Born In The Wilderness

Elliot Robinson, a listener of the podcast that works in land restoration in New Orleans, dropped me a line regarding to my episode with social anthropologist Dr. Khalil Avi, featured in episode #220 (http://bit.ly/LBWavi). He posed a great question regarding how to deal with a particular "invasive species" in his work, the Chinese Tallow Tree. I sent the audio of Elliot's call to Avi, and he contacted permaculture designer, teacher, homesteader and author of ‘Beyond the War on Invasive Species’ Tao Orion to provide her expertise in answering Elliot's question. We decided the best course of action was to set up a group call, so Elliot could more adequately pose his questions to Tao and Avi, with myself serving as a facilitator of the discussion. This nearly 40-minute conversation was featured at the end of episode #222 with Dark Mountain co-founder Dougald Hine (http://bit.ly/LBWhine).
