Plant the Rain
Matt Derosier shares about his new project – The Water Dev.
When he heard of a weekend workshop with Zach Weiss and the Water Stories team, he signed up immediately. He was playing in the mud like a little kid again.
He found his calling and purpose. A true career that he would never want to retire from.
Listen how he is healing the land for future generations. It all starts with water.

Matt shares about his project with a lady who is creating a horse apothecary – planting herbs that the horses would eat as needed to deal with what ails them. He helped her map the water across her land.
Living in Montana, Matt is also “on fire” about fire prevention by “planting water” and hydrating the land through infiltration to make the land more resistant to fire danger.
You can see his work at The Water Dev.
Look, the world is changing. You can feel it.
Don’t lose hope.

I am a guy who grows chestnuts in Kansas, where we can go from 33 degrees to 96 in two days. Sometimes it feels like the odds are against me.
I write about building a real life instead of borrowing one.
Skills Over Stuff. Plant trees. Grow food. Build community.
Join me on my Substack. Let’s Thrive Together.

I grow chestnuts in Kansas. Why? Because the chestnuts I bought from elsewhere struggled or died. Now I collect local chestnut seeds and grow them into seedlings. I sell the extras that I don’t use.
