Environmental activists Nick Schwanz and Spencer Scott’s second-growth forest on their 10-acre Guerneville property is an outdoor laboratory dedicated to the emerging environmental movement known as solarpunk. Once dominated by a weedy horse track, Solar Punk Farms, which they founded in 2020, has been transformed into a “food canopy” of 40 stone fruit trees with a greenhouse design inspired by the animations of director Hayao Miyazaki.

“There’s all different roles that are really important in the climate fight. There’s firefighters, world builders and rule changers,” Schwanz said, describing “firefighters” as people like Greta Thunberg who are bringing attention to the dangers of climate change. “Solarpunk is a very good example of the world builders.”
