My Blog is the place to share stories, articles, and ideas. I hope it helps us fulfill our mission. 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.
I hope you enjoy sharing this mission with us and if you have any blog post ideas, please share them with me.
