Chris Jones is one of the major players of the Beaver Trust in Cornwall and has been instrumental in the work to get beavers on the landscape in Cornwall. He is also my FB buddy and a generally pleasant guy. He recently completed this interview with Derrick Jensen of Resistance Radio. One of the fun parts of this interview is the very English sounding truck horn occasionally in the background. He then recommended that I do an interview with him so we’re scheduled to record on March 10th. Let’s hope we can stir up some interest in Beavers and the California Summit.
