Defending Public Lands with Samantha Krop

Our causes reporters sat down to talk about her work.

Alai Reyes-Santos returns to talk about her most recent column in the R-G. She provides many resources in the piece to be better informed and to help communities of color during the pandemic.

Erik Burke, the director of the Eugene chapter of Friends of Trees, stops by the show to talk all things trees in Eugene and what you can do to help.
