Originally recorded April 17, 2026, this interview features Connie Mutel. She's a prolific author on ecosystems and prairie who lives here in Iowa. I would consider this a must listen or must watch episode! Decades of ecosystems understanding are on full display here folks! Connie's message of hope in these trying times is particularly moving.
