Hey, folks, this is Andy with the Poor Proz Almanac.

You can find us on Spotify, iTunes, and wherever you get your podcast, and you can support our work by finding us on Patreon, Venmo, or Kofi.

Our Patreon includes a short mini-series called The Prologs, where we talk about some peripheral stuff to the podcast series,

and we do polls and things like that about content you want covered next, and we're

including some upcoming video footage from here at My Farm before public release up on the

Patreon. So if you're interested, go check it out. Today we have an interview with Pete Etheridge,

principal ecologist at Greenwood Ecology, where he works to keep traditional land management methods alive.

This includes low-impact land management, traditional logging methods, hedge-laying, and Heathland management and restoration.

We chat about not only these practices, but how they fall into our understanding of sustainable living and,

more importantly, movement building within a community.

So take a listen to our chat and let us know what you think.

Pete, thanks so much for taking the time to chat with us.

It's kind of funny how Pat's crossed sometimes.

I just happen to see you posting

in a Facebook group something unrelated and we ended up chatting and it seemed like a really

great opportunity for us to chat a little bit further. So first can you tell us a little bit about

yourself and your work? Yeah, of course, Andy. That's nice to meet you in this virtual world we now seem to live in,

but it's nice to see that social media does have some advantages. I suppose I don't like to

define myself by my work. So I'm 39 years old, white heterosexual male from the south of the UK, the loving partner.

So I'm in a very privileged position in that I can get up each morning.

I get clean water out of my tap.

I've got a roof over my head and food to eat.
