Rewilding (ft. Micah Meadowcroft)

Micah Meadowcroft, Director of Research at Center for Renewing America and Contributing Editor at The American Conservative, talks with Josh and Timon about the prospect of conservative environmental and agricultural renewal in America.    Listen in for fresh perspectives on the environmental movement, progressivism, conservatism, and christianity. Discover how industrialization and progressivism have led to a loss of regional distinctiveness and disrupted traditional relationships with the land and why "rewilding" or returning land to its natural ecosystems and restoring species like bison helps reconnect humans with God's creation and general revelation through exposure to the natural world.   #MicahMeadowcroft #Bison #America #Environment #Ag #Theology #Christianity #Conservative   Micah Meadowcroft is research director of the Center for Renewing America and a contributing editor of The American Conservative magazine.
