A Hunter, Forager, and Forester by trade, Joseph Hosey has a lot to share about learning to live with and listen to nature. In this podcast Joseph talks about learning to see (black trumpet mushrooms) read (understand the language of), and listen (through intuition), to the land. While I enjoyed all of it, my favorite part of this podcast is how Joseph has learned to tend to the forest and why. I think this is something we can all learn to do in our own unique way, and places. Imagining the bounty, and harmony that could be created through small acts - living reciprocally with nature is an amazing thing to consider. Joseph also talks about what he does personally to find morel mushrooms, gives insight into how to spot black trumpet mushrooms, and at the end shares the spice he makes with chanterelles. We additionally discuss one of my favorite topics, intuition in nature. Joseph shares a beautiful experience he had while hunting. 
 Last but not least, I would not miss Joseph’s tips for how to start eating wildly and live connected to nature. They are very practical and some of my favorite tips given so far. 
 Hope you enjoy the show!
