Wimmer's Wilderness
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.
