My guests for this episode are Wilson Alvarez and Ben Weiss. They are permaculture teachers and practitioners from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, who focus on rewilding, observation, and tending the wild. I also consider them my friends and colleagues in the community, having learned and shared a great deal with both of them. We've also sat down and broke bread by sharing meals with one another. This is their third time on the show. Their past episodes are: Restoring Eden: Zone 4 Permaculture with Wilson Alvarez and Ben Weiss Listener Q&A: Zone 4 Permaculture with Wilson Alvarez and Ben Weiss In this conversation we spend much of our time talking about their advanced PDC, which revolves around three core concepts: 1. Reconnection 2. Regeneration 3. Rebellion It is quite a conversation and I look forward to having more with them around this expertise of re-wilding and observation. I am reminded of David Holmgren’s suggestion that we all find our niches, as I continue to develop my own. I'll also be visiting Wilson, Ben, and Natasha on February 27th, so if you have any follow-up questions for any of them, please let me know.
