This article by Kristina Rizga, is an evocative and inspirational narrative of a Sonoma County woman’s journey to stewardship featuring Pepperwood’s team and forest stewardship practices.
The author’s experiences working with Clint McKay (Wappo, Pomo, Wintun) — whose people stewarded the land we now call Pepperwood since time immemorial — fundamentally changed her relationship to this place by reminding her of her responsibility and active role within the system that sustains her.
Empowering. Inspirational. Exceptional.
