Show Notes

In this week's episode, Editor Gary Castor chats with Kristen Schulte, education director of Missouri River Relief.

They talk about the mission of Missouri River Relief, which is to connect people to the Missouri River by providing educational programs and experiences that challenge the common perception of the river as dangerous. Key initiatives discussed include large-scale river cleanups involving thousands of volunteers and the development of on-the-river field trips for various age groups, including a pilot program with a local school district. Another significant program highlighted is the catfishing gear library, which offers free access to fishing equipment, instruction, and even fishing permits to help people of all backgrounds engage with the river through fishing.
