Coexistence at SHO: Working with Wildlife, Domestic Animals, and Humans

Shawn Smith gave a beautiful and comprehensive presentation about the coexistence strategies we’ve gleaned from living on a Vermont hill farm for over 17 years. SHO Farm is a sanctuary, wildlife preserve, and farm where we’ve learned increasingly intricate lessons for how to coexist and share a home with our wild kin. Farms like ours enjoy the unique privilege of listening to the land and to the many lives with whom we share our home. Shawn casts a wide net in defining the practical steps in learning to be an ambassador and advocate for coexistence, guiding listeners with heart, knowledge, and strategies for knowing our wild world far better.
