“Ninety percent of the world’s plants form a symbiosis with mycorrhizal fungi to acquire water and nutrients from the soil in exchange for photosynthate. The fungal mycelium connects the plants in a mycorrhizal network and facilitates interplant transmission of water, nutrients and information. The parlance in this network provides plants and fungi with flexibility for perceiving and responding to changes in their communities, including invasions, stresses, herbivory or infections. Enhancing these connections in the plant-soil ecosystem can increase the productivity, health and resilience in plant communities world-wide.” - Dr. Suzanne Simard

As he explains, he dug wells almost 500 feet deep and found out they were bone dry, so he planted native grass seeds and within a few years had 11 springs on the preserve. “My objective was to take the worst piece of land I could possibly find in the Hill Country of Texas and begin a process of restoration that would change it back to be one of the best, and that has happened right here. By habitat restoration, by working with Mother Nature instead of against her,” he tells the filmmakers, adding: “And that’s what we’re all about.”
We close with a discussion of what is meaningful in life.
In this episode We discuss two moving videos
The first is a video by one of Rye’s favorite youtuber Jon Jondai, about a monk who came to his village to save the last forest and created effectively a sustainability center, and changed many of the village’s practice to be more sustainable.

The second video is about a 23 year old food forest, also known as a forest garden. Miles is inspired by the gardener’s acceptance of the wildness of his garden and all the magic that brings.

It is followed by a philosophical discussion touching on the idea of a perfection, and the limitations of science.
