In our first episode, we talk about the changes to Iowa's landscape, and which areas of the state and land uses show more promise for restoration and protection. We answer some questions from our twitter feed and suggest a paper that describes the Ioway (Baxoye) landscape, Tanji na Che: Recovering the Landscape of the Ioway, by Lance Foster.
