As a professional kayaker, Brooke Hess’s life revolves around wild rivers. But in recent years she’s become increasingly concerned about threats to river ecosystems - like the dams on the lower Snake River. She knew she had to do something to encourage more people to advocate for the removal of those dams. That’s why, in April 2022, she and three other women set out on the trip of a lifetime: kayaking all 1000 miles of the Salmon River, from its headwaters to the Pacific Ocean. https://freeflowinstitute.com/season3brooke/ Our theme music is by Nate Heygi and Wartime Blues.
