As a wrap to our Bare Earth series I pose some viewer questions to our team in this behind the scenes video! Watch to the end to see pilot Robyn's very surprising talent 🖖 youtu.be/tCSUk621b8M
It was 4 years ago that the Big Bar landslide reminded everyone what one landslide could do to the Fraser salmon migration... the research that has followed is one of the most impressive and integrated collaborations i've seen. See for yourself! youtu.be/J2MB1c_dN2g
