Conservation Lessons from the San Luis Valley (Recast)
Manage episode 476218166 series 3571712
Tucked between the Sangre de Cristos and the San Juans, Colorado’s San Luis Valley is more than just a scenic drive—it’s a vital hub for agriculture, wetlands, and water conservation. In this recast episode, we revisit Haley's conversation with Rio de la Vista, a longtime conservationist and water expert, to unpack why this unique region matters not only to Colorado, but to the entire West. From community-led water solutions to cultural heritage and ecological gems, this conversation dives into the Valley’s challenges and triumphs—and why it just might be a model for the future.
