Environmental Interdependence: Our Wetlands

Tibetan Buddhism: The Elegant Mind

In this broadcast, the Chenrezig Project's Mark Winwood welcomes Teresa Opolka, a local (Carnation) wetland ecologist/botanist. Teresa is the founder of the Aquatica Environmental Consulting group specializing in projects in the greater Puget Sound region, focusing on wetland and stream resources. The interconnections between the increasingly inhabited lower Snoqualmie Valley, nestled between the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean and its prodigious -- and crucial -- natural world wetlands are discussed. (Length: 56 minutes)
