Before we get into the meat of this episode, I’d love for you to listen to the last interview of season 1. It is referenced a few times in this episode. 

Season 1, Episode 11: Crisis on the Coast: Corey Miller

The person referencing that interview with Corey Miller is Jessi Parfait. She is the Campaign Representative at the Sierra Club for the Beyond Dirty Fuels Campaign. Additionally, she is a citizen of the United Houma Nation. 

Jessi is going to tell you about her tribe and the impact that industry has made on the Louisiana coastline, a place her community has called home for thousands of years. 

In addition to Jessi, we have Ian Richardson, a Louisiana native who is operating a backyard plant nursery called Beaver’s Abundance. His focus is on native plants and he explains why you should consider planting native plants on your property. 

Having knowledge and respect for our land and the plants that keep it thriving is going to be an important component to having a sustainable future. If you didn’t already know, The Walls Project has a program devoted to urban agriculture and sustainability practices. It’s called Baton Roots! 

Program Director SK Groll joins in to talk about Sow Good Saturday. We realize that this program is really only good for those of you in the Baton Rouge area, so we want to hear about the programs happening in YOUR area. Tell us about it on social media.
