Resonant Restoration Podcast

In this foray into ecological restoration topics, we talk with Jim Root from the Klamath River Renewal Corporation (KRRC) and discuss the status of the project and various parts they have finished, are working on, and are yet to be completed before the final takedown in 2023.

Another installment and this one is on river restoration! The Salt River used to be over 200-feet wide and host ship based transport for canneries, timber, and travel. Then it was barely more than a ditch surrounded by willow and agricultural fields. Flooding on county roads and pasture limited access in the area and created a whole suite of problems. The Humboldt County Resource Conservation District is now engaged in a multi-year, multi-phased project that is restoring the Salt River. It is one of the biggest restoration projects on the west coast of the United States in a small rural community, and spans seven miles.

Welcome to Season 2! We start off this season strong. We have a conversation with disease ecologist, Ellen Brandell. We talk about wolves, yellowstone, scat, lions, and more! This episode is contagious.

Join Resonant Restoration in a discussion with Michael Yadrick, who creates the treehugger podcast in northern Washington state. We talk about his work in Seattle, some aspects of podcasts, and of the Arbutus ARME. Stay tuned for more restoration related musings.

In this episode we talk with representatives from Salmonid Restoration Federation, California Society for Ecological Restoration, and California Association of Resource Conservation Districts about the transition to virtual events. Webinars, conferences, symposia, challenges, opportunities, and beyond!

We discuss the Wildcat Creek Restoration in San Pablo, California.

Of course we talk about Erik’s favorite plant of the moment. Join us for another exciting installment of the virtual fieldtrips on Resonant Restoration.

Featuring Karlee Jewell from The North Coast Regional Land Trust.

We discuss the history, current endeavors, and what the future may hold for a project that embraces community involvement and habitat restoration. For this episode we stay close to home, in Humboldt County, California. We also do a quick synopsis of land trusts in general and the plant of the week is mock orange (Philadelphus lewisii).

This episode features Elias Cattan from Mexico City. We discuss regenerative approaches from his work in Mexico City and some adjacent communities. There are many ways to become involved in the community and expand efforts that contribute to a sustainable and verdant landscape. Join us for a virtual field trip and hear the discussion.
