Discussing the Ancient Oak Tree

Introducing Schuyler's Serendipitous Encounter with the Project

The Magic of Community Collaboration

Butterflies and Biodiversity Observed

Meeting Mad Max

Last week’s episode on-location with a ‘community juggernaut’ restoration project in South Carolina drew some wonderful responses – like ‘I felt like I was right there’, ‘Giving me goose bumps’, ‘The future retrospective documentary idea is brilliant’, and ‘This kicks ass’! So here’s a 5 minute bonus to lift your spirits a little more. It starts as we were winding up, but with mic’s left running, capturing a stunning moment by an old oak tree standing on the original plantation house grounds. (And the <a href="https://lowcountrylandtrust.org/home/creating-community-centered-places/angel-oak-preserve/">Angel Oak</a> Joel mentions, is an even older oak he just filmed a story for, to assist in its preservation and celebration.) Then another stunning moment, when <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schuyler-clogston-a8333b147/">Schuyler Clogston</a> drifted by, and the tale emerged of her serendipitous encounter with the Project. And finally, some more context to the amazing regeneration at play, and the out-take at the end of the main episode.If you’ve come here first, you can tune into that main episode 256 with Joel Caldwell and Dr Blake Scott, ‘<a href="https://www.regennarration.com/episodes/256-marsh-project">The Marsh Appreciation &amp; Restoration Society for Happiness’</a>.
