A walk on the prairie with Jon Lundgren

Went for a walk tonight on 25 acres of unbroken prairie that now belongs to entomologist Jon and Jenna Krogh Lundgren, part of Blue Dasher Farm, the agroecology research laboratory and demonstration farm they founded to pursue their science without the interference of corporate interests.

Each little change in the land had its own niche of amazing plants, whose preciousness was intensified by the proximity of the enormous gas pipeline plant looming over us nearby.

Long conversation over dinner about how to move things forward towards land regeneration on a larger scale.

Jon and his intern Claire are collaborating with me as I write soil health curriculum for the agricultural programs at 350 high schools in Oklahoma.
