Writing the Land with Dr. Lis McLoughlin

When a pipeline project threatened residents of rural Massachusetts, Dr. Lis McLoughlin partnered with a local land trust and fought to protect her community. She not only succeeded in this endeavor, she established NatureCulture® and the Writing the Land® Project in collaboration with poets in an effort to financially support land trusts and protect lands across the US. Bio: Dr. Lis McLoughlin is the founder and director of NatureCulture®, a publishing company through which she directs the Writing the Land® Project which pairs poets with conserved lands, and creates anthologies sold for land conservation. Lis has degrees in Civil Engineering, Education, and Science and Technology Studies. She lives off-grid in Northfield, Massachusetts and part-time in Montréal, Québec. Support the show
