Show Notes
In this episode, I sit down with Nick Rowe from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to explore his work in restoring wetlands by battling invasive plants, including phragmites and reed canary grass. Nick shares stories of the intense work behind the scenes, from operating heavy machinery to applying herbicides, to reclaim habitats for waterfowl. We dive deep into the challenges of eradicating invasive species and how thoughtful conservation efforts bring back native plants and wildlife. This is an inside look at the hard work that goes into saving the places waterfowl call home.
