Water & Weeds
'Brook Trout Revival' - The only native trout species in the southeast has existed in North Carolina for Millennia - but is threatened by human activity and a changing climate. Fortunately, its advocates are coming together to keep them safe. 'Sponge Park in The City' - Years ago, a historic Atlanta neighborhood was devastated by a catastrophic storm event. Today, that same space is home to a beautiful park with a hidden mission - it protects surrounding neighborhoods from flood damage. 'Into The Weeds' - Author, forager and self-proclaimed 'failed gardener'' Tama Matsuoka Wong embraces a more sustainable approach to tending the land and to have some respect for what we call 'weeds.' Wong encourages us to turn invasive plants into borders and beds, and recognize plants that can become teas and tinctures, or enhance cocktails and meals.
