About me: My name is Thorstan Osborne, I have worked as a master herbalist, and natural health consultant for about ten years here in the beautiful Appalachian mountains of Kentucky...
I maintain several acres of woodlands and a greenhouse in order to protect native and rare medicinal plants. I find profound joy in the wonders of mother earth, and hope to be able to share that joy with you...
I will be posting periodical blogs here about unusual and helpful plants, as well as free plant and seed offers for anyone willing to share their lives with these awesome plants...
Please feel free to email me anytime. I look forward to getting to know you better, and sharing what I know with you.
Too many people too often forget that WE ARE A PART of nature, just as much as birds, flowers, and trees...
- Thorstan

Anthony Marr will be conducting his Animal Voices radio/online talkshow at the Animal Rights National Conference in Los Angeles (www.ARConference.org) on Friday, July 17, noon-1pm PT/3-4pm ET. Anthony will be interviewing an assortment of activists present at the conference, on a first come, first served basis. If you are going to the conference and have something you would like to say to the world, or to President Obama, please contact Anthony at Anthony_Marr@yahoo.com, or cell 216-386-7362, or just show up at the phone used for the interview at or near the conference office.
Animal Voices is on the air every Friday 3-4pm ET/12-1pm PT, online live at www.coopradio.org, or by Vancouver radio CFRO 102.7FM, or in www.myspace.com/AnthonyMarr where it will be set on auto-play after the show.
For 30 years, Jan Haagensen has been harassed and her farm in PA invaded with impunity by hunters, and her NO HUNTING signs and fences repeatedly torn down. 10 years ago, she had had enough, and approached the trespassing hunters to ask them to leave, and asked a hunter engaged in illegal hunting to cease and desist. When a hunter threatened to shoot her and her mother, she called police, which sided chummily with the hunters, and later charged her with 5 counts of "hunter harassment". The "kangaroo court" convicted her on all 5 counts. Being an attorney, she appealed to the appellate court and won, and is now challenging the PA Hunter Harassment Statute in federal court as being unconstitutional for inhibiting free speech and violating property rights. If she wins, doors will be open for challenging the equally unconstitutional Hunter Harassment laws of other states.
Jan will be Anthony Marr's guest on Animal Voices this Friday, July 3, 3-4pm-ET/12-1pm-PT, online live at www.CoOpRadio.org. If you missed it, go to www.myspace.com/AnthonyMarr where the interviews are archived. Call-in hotline 1-604-684-7561.
