*Note to your readers: *Please share these events with your networks as
widely as you (ethically) can. Walter will be in the US approximately once
every 2-3 years, so this is an excellent and rare chance to learn from and
speak with him on the science and practice of regenerating the soil carbon
sponge. Many of his talks will focus on post-fire recovery and restoration,
particularly at the Camarillo and Oxnard events.



The Great North American

*More on the speakers:*

*Walter Jehne* is an internationally recognized climate scientist, soil
microbiologist and innovation strategist. He has field and research
experience in forests, grasslands, agriculture and soils at national
(CSIRO) and international (UN) levels.  Walter’s scientific work has
focused on soil biology, plant root ecology, mycorrhizal fungi, glomalin,
soil-carbon formation, as well as on biology's enormous influence on
hydrological cycles, weather patterns, regional and global cooling, air
quality, and cloud formation and precipitation. He has a remarkable ability
to explain complex systems in easy to understand ways.

Walter has worked more broadly beyond science, at Federal Government level,
leading transformation in industry and policy. This diversity of experience
has given Walter a unique and exceptional capacity to devise
multi-stakeholder win-win strategies – turning challenges into
opportunities. This year he was part of an invitation-only UN-FAO
conference in Paris looking at bringing soil into the next IPCC report.

search past videos of his workshop sessions and talks on YouTube using
"Walter Jehne soil sponge".

*Didi Pershouse* is the author of *The Ecology of Care: medicine,
agriculture, money, and the quiet power of human and microbial communities
<https://www.amazon.com/Ecology-Care-Agriculture-Microbial-Communities/dp/069261303X/>*
as
well as *Understanding Soil Health and Watershed Function
<http://soilcarboncoalition.org/learn>*. As the founder of the Center for
Sustainable Medicine, she developed a practice and theoretical framework
for systems-based ecological medicine—restoring health to people as well as
the environmental and social systems around them.

After 22 years of clinical work with patients, Pershouse now travels
widely. Her workshops and talks engage farmers, schools, and watershed
groups across the US in opportunities to improve soil health, public
health, and climate resiliency through changes in land management. She is
board chair of the non-profit Soil Carbon Coalition. You can learn more
about her work at www.didipershouse.com, andhttp://soilcarboncoalition.
