This episode of the Green Flame is an interview with Kim Hill, a
permaculture design teacher based on the South East coast of New
South Wales, and Joanna Pinkiewicz, a women's rights activist and
environmental activist, based in Tasmania.
We discuss the Australian bush fires, the role of fire in the
landscape, indigenous land management practices, land defense,
grief rituals and nature connection, and the likelihood that
corporations and developers with backing from the government will
open up fire-affected land to development and mining.
Two of DENNI's songs are included with permission: Trees and Wise
Ones.
