Restore Hetch Hetchy in Yosemite National Park, with Spreck Rosekrans

Épisode 79

mardi 2 février 2021 • Durée 01:02:03

Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park was described by John Muir as “one of nature’s rarest and most precious mountain temples" and was once considered one of the most unique and diverse ecosystems in the world. However, in 1913 the city of San Francisco won Congressional approval to dam and flood Hetch Hetchy, thus burying this extraordinary valley under 300 feet of water. Spreck Rosekrans is the Executive Director at Restore Hetch Hetchy and is leading the fight to bring back what was once lost.

Rugged Conservation, with Adventure Photographer Alex Haraus

Épisode 68

mardi 3 novembre 2020 • Durée 59:11

Alex Haraus is a full-time outdoor photographer, who initially grew up finding adventure in Chicago. After discovering “roof topping” and urban exploration, he eventually traveled west and worked with organizations such as Americorps to take part in backcountry trail building. But Alex’s real passion is ‘Rugged Conservation,’ which is basically using adventure photography as a hook to teach others about climate change and conservation by encouraging them to develop their own relationship with nature.
