Relocalizing VT, March 24: Harvesting Trees Like Kale

Past event
Mar 24, 2022, 9 to 10:30 AM

Coming up Thursday on Central Vermont Community Radio - How race affects the ability to succeed in government, business, and medicine—and what other effects it has. This week's show features guests with a national perspective, but I think their perspectives can help us understand race issues in our own backyard, as well.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Continuing last week's interview with former Cornell University Black revolutionary Thomas Jones, who later went on to high-level positions at John Hancock, TIAA-CREF, and Citigroup Wall Street, about how to succeed at the highest level of a field that historically has excluded Black people. Last week, he discussed President Joe Biden's Black nominees to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. This week, we talk about Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court and reactions to it.

"Cut and return" is a way of harvesting kale and other greens in the garden—they grow back after each harvest. Many hardwood trees to do that, too! Vermont permaculturalist Mark Krawczyk has written the book on coppicing, the art of cutting trees so they grow back, again and again. Trees can be harvested for a continuous supply of small diameter polewood for products from firewood to fine furniture. Is coppicing something for your backyard or homestead?
