In Tennessee, the digital future is merging with the ecological past.
Clarksville, where Google has a data center, is home to a fragile ecosystem that has vanished across America: grasslands. What if we could use large campuses like data centers to transform land back into long-lost prairies – restoring ecological diversity and an important piece of American history? Dwayne Estes of the Southeastern Grasslands Institute is dedicating his life to making that a reality.
After you listen to the episode, watch the documentary about grasslands restoration at Google’s data center.
