Communities. Forests. Families. All of these different
ecosystems contain a lot of different components that weave and
work together. And as people, plants, and pests carry on
and creep around, rich and sometimes unlikely collaborations
emerge. In this episode, with the help of Karine Polwart, Colin
Farrell, and Steve Nardone, I’ll explore how friends, neighbors and
families can blend; how humans and trees need and inspire one
another; and how we also rely on birds, bees.. and rats.
