Welcome to Wimmer's Wilderness. We are working to bring greater awareness to our local communities and how important they are. We, as individuals, can have a significant impact on the quality of our communities. I have always wanted to create a way to help bring a little more light on important issues that affect us.

I have created a Podcast called Wimmer's Wilderness to give voice to this idea. Wimmer's Wilderness is an informed look at Politics, Community, Government, Environment, and Education from a local perspective.

Our regions, states, and countries are simply a collection of local communities working together. If we can make a positive change in our local communities, it will lead to better outcomes at the regional, state, and national levels.

    Episode #73 Losing

    In Episode #73, we discuss Losing. When did we turn into a nation of whiners who can't accept that sometimes we don't win? Every day, we can lose a game, a job, and an election. We can do so much in losing that makes us better, more intelligent, and more resilient. 
    Introducing Wimmer's Wilderness, a Podcast that offers a unique perspective on Politics, Community, Government, Environment, and Education. We delve into these topics from a local viewpoint, sparking intrigue and fostering engagement.
    Our regions, states, and countries are not just geographical entities but intricate webs of local communities. By fostering positive changes in our local communities, we can create a ripple effect that leads to better regional, state, and national outcomes, instilling a sense of belonging and unity.

    Episode #69 of Wimmer's Wilderness Podcast focuses on local food production with Marissa of Springhill Heritage Farm in Chetek, Wisconsin.

The low-stress healthy, raised animals provide safe, great-tasting options for our dinner table. Wild harvested maple syrup is also on the menu.
    We walk through the regulatory, financial, organizational, and personal work needed to make this dream come true. Our honest discussion brings to light the effort required to go from dream to reality. The keys to success revolve around collaboration, research, and hard work.
