    The DAPCast from the Draft Animal Power Network investigates the intersection between sustainable land use and working animals. Hard to pigeonhole, our podcast will inspire you to create the change you want to see both in the world and in your animals. It will provoke your thoughts on sustainability, and also give you practical tips for getting big heavy animals to do what you want them to do. If you've ever had a twinge of curiosity about draft animals, or even if you're just interested in sustainable agriculture and silviculture/agroforestry, the DAPCast is worth a listen. Maggie Smith hosts Season 1 with editing by Louis Ménard and music by Pier-Rick Boivin.The Draft Animal Power Network is a membership-based nonprofit organization nonprofit organization that aims to highlight ongoing efforts of people who are educating, mentoring, and building community around animal-power and sustainable land use.
