b'Welcome to a special episode edition of this ongoing series focusing on tree planting and agroforestry. So far I\\u2019ve had a lot of interviews talking about tree and perennial systems and we\\u2019ve mostly looked at things from a macro perspective. Today we\\u2019ll take a closer look at one of the most incredible families of plants that are present in the majority of temperate ecologies around the world, the family Quercus, more commonly known as oaks.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nHere to give us a window into the undervalued world of oak trees as well as a glimpse into how humans have formed relationships and uses for this incredible plant that have shaped our own cultures and evolutionary trajectory is Byron Joel an internationally recognised author, media presenter and leader in the field of Ecological-Agriculture.\\n\\n\\n\\nFor over 15 years he has worked, consulted, designed and taught across four continents. In 2011 he was resident Manager of Horticulture at the PERMACULTURE RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA and in 2012 transitioned to the same position at the sister institute in New Zealand. He has over 1000 hours teaching and presenting on regenerative agriculture in Australia, the USA, Africa and New Zealand.\\n\\n\\n\\nByron acts as managing consultant for Oak Tree Designs, assisting in the greater eco-agricultural movement as systems designer and consultant, focussing on the Mediterranean regions of his home nation, Australia, where he advocates for a greater recognition, honoring and implementation of Indigenous Australian land stewarding practices.\\n\\n\\n\\nThis is a special episode, much the same as last week, because it comes from one of my favorite episodes from one of my favorite podcasts, The Plant Report with my dear friend Jill Cloutier. The Plant Report is an educational podcast about plants, herbal medicine, ethnobotany and the human-plant relationship highlighting the fact that every plant has a story.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nJill has such a wealth of knowledge and love for plants herself that when she gets together with others to talk about the wonderful world of vegetative life you can count on podcast magic. Since I can hardly hope to improve on Jill\\u2019s exceptional interviewing style from her two shows, The Plant Report and Sustainable World Radio, I reached out to ask if she would allow me to rebroadcast her session with Byron and she generously agreed.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nJill and I, along with our friend and colleague Scott Mann from The Permaculture Podcast have teamed up to form the Regenerative Media Alliance, a union of independent media producers working to broadcast regenerative solutions across the world. If you\\u2019re interested in learning from seasoned pros in independent regenerative media production, be sure to stick around until the end where I\\u2019ll share more information about this alliance and give you the early signup information for the RMA\\u2019s professional development conference.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nJoin the discord discussion channel to answer the weekly questions and learn new skills with the whole community\\n\\n\\n\\nLinks:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://oaktreedesigns.com.au/\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/oak_tree_designs/\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?t=3&v=AWIx9kc7Hw4&feature=emb_imp_woyt\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://www.williambryantlogan.com/oak\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://oaktreedesigns.com.au/dehesa-australis/\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://theplantreport.libsyn.com/'
