Listen Later

Episode #41 of the Ground Shots Podcast features a story documenting my visit with Michael Ridge of Walking with Western Wildflowers August 2019 in Kamiah, Idaho, Nimiipuu country.   In this episode with Michael we talk about:

 

the importance of ecological participation as a way to belong to place

Michael's way of wild-tending nomadically on horseback across the west

planting the seeds of wild food and medicine plants to diversify genetics

some of the plants Michael tends like Sego Lilies, Biscuitroots, different stone-fruits, Camas, Yampah and more.
