Iowa Nature Summit Proposal

PROJECT:

Ursula Ruedenberg, Pacifica Affiliate Network Manager, and Stephanie Schubert, Pacifica Affiliate Network Operations Coordinator, will produce a 1-hour radio program/podcast advancing the Wildness/Rewilding conversation resulting from interviews gathered during the 2-day Iowa Nature Summit. The program/podcast will be widely distributed at no cost to recipients. The program will focus exclusively on Wildness/Rewilding and be free of other agendas which are social, political, or ecologically shallow. By wild means self-reliant, spontaneous, self-willed, self-regulating, local, authentic, and free. We will consult with you prior to the conference to clarify specific goals. Post-production and distribution will be completed by November 23, with subsequent follow-up when opportunities arise.

DISTRIBUTION: 

  1. Upload to SoundCloud
  2. SoundCloud file link to BeWildReWild.org website.
