INTERVIEW
On this edition of Catalyst Radio we learn about an effort to bring back to health a key watershed in the Grand Rapids area.
Plaster Creek Stewards – A Watershed Restoration Initiative is a collaborative effort of Calvin College faculty, staff and students working with local schools, churches and community partners to restore the health and beauty of the watershed that is a large part of the city of Grand Rapids.
Two members of the project’s leadership join us in the Catalyst Radio studio. We welcome Dave Warners of Calvin College’s Biology Department, and Gail Heffner, Director of Community Engagement at Calvin.
They will explain the conditions effecting the urban watershed, and also talk about the restoration efforts and the oral history collecting centering on memories of Plaster Creek as a vital part of the community.
MUSIC
Michigan-made music in this episode of Catalyst Radio is from Aaron Llewellyn, with a new released called Franklin Hotel. The song is “Flood.”
The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.
We need your help.
If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.
