Permaculture is a design discipline that strives to work with
nature, pointing us to the solution that's found in the
problem. Permaculture practitioner, teacher and
advocate Tao Orion has drawn on her work in Oregon's
Willamette Valley to research and write "Beyond the WAR on
Invasive Species" (2015, Chelsea Green). She presents
long-view ecological perspectives on the kinds of eco-problems
exemplified by invasive species - and how we humans can change our
thinking, our processes, our questions into accord with Earth's
systems. From edible landscapes to herbicide use, this conversation
challenges easy-answer thinking.
This show follows up on resources shared (March 1) by St.
Louis leaders of the Honeysuckle
Sweep for Healthy Habit, an effort to tackle one our region's
most problematic invasive species
