In our latest episode, join Kyle and I (and some friends) as we whitewater raft down the class IV Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho. As we float, we talk about the Wild and Scenic River Act and the important scenic, recreational, wildlife, fish, and cultural values the act protects. The historic Wild and Scenic River Act of 1968 protects some of the Nation’s most prized possessions: free flowing rivers that maintain biodiversity, provide for recreation, and safeguard historic and cultural values. Over 12,700 miles of rivers are protected in over 40 states. While that may seem like an abundance of river protections, it’s relatively little in comparison to all waters within the country; less than 0.25% of the Nation’s rivers have Wild and Scenic designation. There are folks all over the country working right now to designate more rivers as Wild and Scenic such as the: -Northwest California Wilderness, Recreation, and Working Forests Act  -Rivers Democracy Act, Oregon -Wild Olympics Wilderness Act, Washington  -Montana Headwaters Legacy Act  -Greater Gila Wild and Scenic River Act, New Mexico https://lnkd.in/g9H54XRs

How can we recreate the biblical garden of Eden in our cities today? Where all categories of species are integrated into one giant eco system... No separation of roles and functions... But that all functions are co-dependent on each other..

A lovely example of how Nature in practice (rather than abstract conceptualisation) overcomes artificial binaries. The debate as to whether tree planting and reintroduction of beavers is compatible addressed in this short video, where an observational, experiential approach reveals they can each enhance the other. Important to understand that dead trees are essential for wildlife also.... How might we similarly rewild our thinking, allow new concepts to emerge from the remains of dead ideas...
