Today we continue looking at food insecurity and hunger in the Camp Fire burn scar. We head to Concow to hear from those working and living there – who are trying to make a difference.  

If you are a Camp Fire survivor who is having challenges getting healthy food for yourself or your family, please check out our food insecurity survey. You can also share any of your thoughts with us on our message line at 433-9216.

In honor of the Fourth of July, Cultivating Place is joined this week by the acclaimed writer and gardener Jamaica Kincaid, whose work "My Garden (Book)" published in the late 1990s, explores how the length and depth of human history - beautiful and terrible - is a narrative fully legible in our gardens and horticulture of today. As a citizen gardener, she sees potential redemption for humanity in kindness and in striving to honor one another the best we can - in our places, with our plants. Listen in!

Today we’re staying focused on food insecurity and hunger in the Camp Fire burn scar. The next two episodes in this series highlight those who are working to help survivors make ends meet. We’re going to travel to many places in the burn scar including Concow, that was the first to be hit by the fire – but first we’re heading to Paradise and Magalia.
