In honor of the Winter Solstice this coming weekend, on December 21st at 10:03 AM Pacific, we celebrate land- and place-based cultivation grounded in cultural and spiritual care, leading the way.

We’re joined in this by Dr. Don Hankins, Professor of Geography and Planning at California State University, Chico.

Of Miwok ancestry, Don, for decades now, has focused on applied research of indigenous stewardship practices as a “keystone process to aid in conservation and management of resources”, particularly around the cultural use of fire and and conservation of water.

Don has been involved in land management and conservation local organizations and agencies as well as federal and tribal governments. Listen in!
