Show Notes

Each winter and spring, Colorado’s snowpack is painstakingly monitored at survey locations across the mountains. We tag along with a federal worker who has the painful job of measuring just how bad things are. Then, next year’s state budget is on its way to the full legislature. We have five important things to know about what is, and isn’t, in it. And, a new library in Adams County wants to connect its users to get lost in nature, as much as they get lost in books.
