Living Downstream

About this Show

Living Downstream is a program for anyone who'd like to learn about various local environmental topics as well as climate change and environmental justice. It is hosted by Jessica Saxton, current AmeriCorps member who is serving as Umpqua Watersheds' Environmental Education & Outreach Leader, and on a rotating basis Kasey Hovik (UW Executive Director). We are excited to offer this show as a way to bring awareness of environmental issues to a wider audience.

We are now back to airing new episodes every week!
