On this episode of The Indy, we're celebrating Earth week. The Point Conception Institute at the Jack and Laura Dangermond Preserve has formally launched this year and host Molly McAnany speaks with Dr. Mark Reynolds and Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant about this unique living laboratory and the future of conservationist research. Then, Indy reporter Alexandra Goldberg sits down with Joshua Haggmark, City of Santa Barbara Water Resources Manager, about the city’s diversified water sources that have supported us through the statewide drought.
