Palo Vivo Podcast

What does it take to bring back a forest? In this episode, we speak with tree planting expert Debbie Hamilton and with reforestation researcher Megan Brown about role forests play in communities and what it takes to reforest. We talk about how reforestation can change a community, and the role that relationships play in the success of tree planting projects. We explore the question of 'How do people come to care for a forest?', and get to hear Debbie describe what it's like to walk in a forest she helped plant.  To learn more about the reforestation and environmental education work that Palo Vivo does, visit our website: palovivo.org Follow us on instagram! @palo.vivo We'd like to give a big thank you to our supporters on Patreon who make this podcast possible!
