About this listen

Arjan brings our story to its crescendo, ending the meeting with a bang that propels people out the door, along the dyke, and eventually to a familiar tree. Its familiar view over the marsh provides the backdrop for the final drop of wisdom needed set the wheels of change in motion.

In this episode Arjan and Connor are joined by Elien to talk about the many things salt marshes bring to our coastal communities, the future of salt marshes, and how the story might change how we see our world.
