Episode List
#901 Beaver Believers
“Beavers are having a moment!” As the world struggles with more fire and droughts, people are beginning to appreciate the wetland-producing work of beavers. Ben Goldfarb, the author of EAGER: The Surprising Secret Life of Beavers & Why They Matter, weaves the incredible true tale of how beavers influenced the history of America. In northwest Montana, “Beaver Believers” brave muck and mud to install technology so these critters can co-exist harmoniously with humans. And finally, we visit “the undammed” Flint River in Georgia to understand the value of letting a river run its course.
#902 Snow & Flow
Wolverines are rarely seen, living reclusive lives deep within high, snowy mountains. EcoSense visits Zoo Montana to see the only wolverine kit born in captivity that year and uncovers the truth about “fierce” wolverines, and their survival as snow decreases. In the great northwest, the Nez Perce tribe are called “the Salmon People” for their long, close cultural relationship with these species. The Nez Perce tribe shows us how the fate of salmon is intertwined and connected to all living things. Lastly, Yellowstone Ski Resort spent millions to pioneer a process that uses recycled wastewater to make snow. Their shared open technology could extend the life of creeks and rivers in the drought-plagued west.
#993 Untamed
Wild horses, a symbol of the American west, have long held a special status and protection under the law. As their numbers have grown, so has the controversy around them. At the Wind River Wild Horse Sanctuary in Wyoming, a cowboy and wild horse manager untangles the issues, and how to solve them. A biologist, a professor, and international students from the Savannah College of Art & Design explore how the natural world influences design in surprising and helpful ways. The Great Bear Rainforest in northwest Canada is a remote wonderland of wild animals and the indigenous communities who protect it. Visitors hope to see the rare “spirit bear,” whose genetic difference may help them catch salmon.
#904 The Art Of Nature
Bernheim Forest & Arboretum in Kentucky was originally created from one man’s desire to preserve the land that had given him opportunity and wealth. His vision has been expanded in size and daring, incorporating art that draws visitors from across the globe. Many conserved places face encroaching development and pollution. Bernheim is no exception, plus eminent domain threatens to put a wildlife corridor in jeopardy. Fireflies, also known as lightning bugs, spur imaginations around the world. A Bernheim naturalist tells of the wonders of wild night walks and why you should take them.
