    Discover how removing dams isn't just about freeing water—it's about liberating the very soul of our landscapes. Journey with Marty Holtgren, a visionary fisheries biologist and social scientist, as he delves into the revolutionary world of river restoration. From the historic reconnection of Michigan’s Maple River to global dam removal trends, Marty shares fascinating insights into the delicate balance between science, culture, and community. His deep commitment to listening to and learning from Indigenous communities is a cornerstone of his work, fostering trust and mutual understanding in every project.

    His reverence for indigenous knowledge and his relentless drive to do what others say can't be done offer inspiration for anyone who believes in the power of restoration, resilience, and the untapped potential of our natural world.
    This isn't just an episode—it's a call to action. Join us as we explore how restoring our rivers can mend our connection to nature and to each other, one free-flowing stream at a time.
