Season 5 is all about conservation education from the ground up; from kids to adults, from conservation entusiasts to conservation professionals. We celebrate the people and programs that share the knowledge that makes a difference to our waters. Season 5 of Clean Water Conversations is sponsored by RK&K

We begin season 5 with a conversation with Angie Martin, the Director for Community Engagement at the Edible Classroom. We discuss teaching kids about growing and cooking their own food through hands-on experience, regenerative conservation, and kunekune pigs. Then we play a deceptive, literary game of trivia.

You just might learn something while having fun!
