Building Bridges with Becca Skinner

Becca Skinner is a photographer, writer, National Geographic Explorer, and farmer in the permaculture food forest at her home near Bozeman, Montana. As you'll hear in this episode, Becca started in adventure storytelling, but has since expanded her focus to include private land stewardship and sustainable food production, topics that are now central to her outlook and way of life. As she wrote in a piece she co-authored in the inaugural issue of On Land, Becca describes herself as having a foot in two worlds: in one world there is the recreation-based environmentalist, in the other world there is the ranching family that works to sustain biodiversity and open landscapes while producing food for their community. Becca's journey parallels many people's, including my own. Despite our age of polarization, many folks in both of these communities are realizing they have more in common than they previously understood. Becca's work continues to bridge these two worlds, from the center. Full show notes: https://onland.link/podcast Subscribe to On Land Magazine: https://onland.link/social-subscribe
