December 18, 2023 - - This month in Art Waves, the UkiaHaiku Festival, followed by graphic designer Jeremy Logan and we end with the film Director and actor  Bryan Petters. 

Hosts Tim Bray and Dr. Robert Spies talk with Brock Dolman and Kate Lundquist, co-directors of the Water Institute at the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center, about their work on beavers in California ecosystems.
Because beavers transform ecosystems and have done so for millennia, a number of other species are adapted to the conditions they create, including many California natives and some threatened species. Dolman and Lundquist are engaged in a project to restore beavers to the landscape wherever possible.
