Show Notes

Michelle Tree is our special guest for this episode of the Plant-Based Canada Podcast.

Michelle Tree (@treelivity) is a PlantPure Communities Pod Leader and member of the PlantPure Pod Advisory Committee. She started her group, Plant Based Living Winnipeg in 2016 after watching the food documentary PlantPure Nation, from which the PlantPure Communities grew. With her background as an event manager, Michelle organised potlucks and get-togethers designed to create friendships and help people thrive on whole foods. The group has grown to over 1500 members and continues to encourage people to make the switch to a plant-based lifestyle. 

In 2021, Michelle jumped at the chance to join the PlantPure Pod Advisory Committee, taking on a more impactful role within the Pod Network by collaborating with pod leaders around the world.

  • Building Community
  • Using & Developing the Skills We Have
