URBAN GREEN, a new radio documentary by Barbara Bernstein, looks at how our connection to the place where we live is strengthened by eating locally grown food and learning to relate to the watershed we live in, as we search for the ribbons of green in the city that connect us to the natural world.

Without the Salmon there would be no Pacific Northwest as we know it. Yet since 1991, most of the salmon runs in the Northwest have been listed as threatened or endangered. This spring on the Columbia River the fewest fish in years are returning upstream to spawn. Producer Barbara Bernstein takes us on a journey into the land of salmon, why they are so significant and what it will take to keep them from disappearing.

The Whole Communities Radio Project is a collaboration between the Media Project, the Coalition for a Livable Future and KBOO Radio, presenting radio panel discussions, radio production training workshops community events and two new radio documentaries.
