The Smith River: The Fight for California's Last Wild River + Joanne Rand
Award winning journalist Greg King presents his breathtaking photos of the Smith River, in the far northwestern corner of California, while discussing the threat of pesticides and other impacts to this last of the state's wild rivers. The Smith River is the only major undammed river in California, and it is one of the cleanest and most beautiful rivers in the world. Scientists are relying on the Smith River to maintain healthy populations of salmon and steelhead in order to have viable wild stocks that can recolonize other California and Oregon streams into the future. Yet even on the Smith River salmonids face an uphill battle against a damaged lower reach, and against ongoing pesticide use on Easter lily farms that surround the Smith River estuary. King, who serves as Executive Director of the non-profit Siskiyou Land Conservancy, will be followed by Joanne Rand, whose music is "nothing short of brilliant," according to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.
