Our rivers are as important as the air we breathe, connecting landscapes and food systems across the country. From the scenic Deschutes River to the salmon runs in Bristol Bay, this program follows conservationists striving to restore biodiversity, preserve accessibility, and educate others about the importance of our river systems.
Pressured out of Poland as a dissident in the early 1980s, Mariusz Wroblewski set out for freer territory, with his family, a yearning for wild rivers, and not much else. Four decades later, he’s become a conservationist and advocate for wild rivers – and discovered the true reason rivers figure so prominently in his life.
