Liberating Michigan's mighty Boardman-Ottaway river with Frank Dituri and Brett Fessel

"We thought the project was over... We would lose the trust of the public and they were sceptical to begin with. We stuck together."


Michigan's mighty Boardman-Ottaway River has been liberated by the removal of four huge concrete dams, thanks to decades of hard work by Frank Dituri and Brett Fessell. In this episode you'll hear all about this staggering story of restoration.


Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast. Join him as he speaks to people from all over the world who champion nature and are helping to restore habitats and wildlife to some of the most nature depleted parts of our planet.
