Talking Jordan River

This morning I was a guest of KCPW's CityView program and was invited to give an update on the Jordan River.  Interest in preserving, protecting, and promoting the River is rapidly growing and the Jordan River Commission was pleased with the release of the Parkway Trail Map that can be found here:

The synopsis for the radio show includes:

Once contaminated with raw sewage, farm waste and heavy metals from nearby mines, the Jordan River has been cleaned up and recognized as a vital natural resource running from Utah Lake to Great Salt Lake. A new coordinated effort to restore and preserve the Jordan River is underway and on Monday, we’ll learn more about what’s envisioned for the future of the Jordan River corridor.

If you are interested in listening to the broadcast it can be found at the KCPW website linked below:
