In this episode we welcome Zachary Wise, Creator of Water Stories
Zach is the protégé of revolutionary Austrian farmer Sepp Holzer. He is the first and only person to earn a Holzer Practitioner certification directly from Sepp - through a rigorous two-year apprenticeship. After learning from Sepp, he set out to create Elemental Ecosystems, a business that provides an action-oriented process to improve clients' relationship with their landscape.
Elemental Ecosystems is an ecological development contracting and consulting company specializing in watershed restoration and ecosystem regeneration. Harvesting time and the productivity of natural systems is the guiding principle - resulting in abundant oases with the potential to last until the next ice age. Elemental Ecosystems has worked in 25 countries, on 6 continents, spanning a wide range of climates, contexts, landforms, and ecosystems.
After 10 years of doing projects for Elemental Ecosystems, Zach began to see the limits of his availability and need for water retention work at scale, and thus felt a call to share this knowledge with others. This is where Water Stories was born.
