This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, takes you upriver to visit Payne Hollow on the Ohio (https://www.paynehollowontheohio.org/) with five wonderful guests who are all actively involved in protecting and restoring this ecological and cultural gem: Board members Stacey Burkhart, David Wicks, and Joe Wolek, along with Americorps members Anthony Lamb and Julian Rodriguez. Payne Hollow on the Ohio is a Kentucky non-profit established in June 2022 with the goal of sustainably preserving Payne Hollow up in Trimble County while protecting and promoting the legacy of Harlan and Anna Hubbard. The central mission is to stabilize the existing structures, document the property and natural history, to celebrate the homestead’s evident beauty, creativity, and innovation, and build a foundation for a safe and inspiring future for Payne Hollow and the community it inspires. Payne Hollow will demonstrate the remarkable example the Hubbards set for those who choose to live off the land in ecological consciousness.
