In this episode we talk with Nathan Donnelly, permaculture practitioner, Youth Conservation Corp. crew coordinator, nature awareness and survival skills instructor, and contestant on the Alone Show, season 6. In our discussion we get into a lot of topics, namely how humans can live with the natural fire cycle, Nathan’s work with the Youth Conservation Corp., the healing aspects of nature that Nathan has experienced, especially while on the Alone show, permaculture and our role as stewards of the land, hunting and conservation, Talequah and the plight of Southern Resident Orcas, and the importance of community.
