In the early days of 2023, a group of researchers and activists published a report with a shocking conclusion: Utah's Great Salt Lake was losing water so fast that it was on track to effectively disappear within five years. Since the report was issued, the Great Salt Lake's water loss not only slowed, but its water level actually increased. In June 2024, the lake's two sides — which are divided by an embankment — were three feet higher than they had been two years prior. So what happened here? At first blush, the story appears to be an example of science gone wrong — an exaggerated claim of imminent danger, founded on flawed assumptions and questionable processes, that damaged the public's trust in the scientific community and its receptiveness to future warnings. But could it actually be a story of the power of concerted action, or poor science communication in the media? Drawing on interviews with the lead authors on the 2023 “five-year” report, Utah's Great Salt Lake commissioner, a former member of Utah's Air Quality Board and an expert on the lake's atmospheric effects, we'll explore the uncertain future of the Great Salt Lake — the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere and a critical resource for the health and aspirations of millions of people.

Everyone is welcome in her circles. This community-held writing practice was designed for anyone willing to pick up a pen. A recent PBS documentary highlights River Writing as a method of repair for what is broken in our relationship with the natural world. Her debut poetry collection, prayers not meant for heaven, was published by Toad Hall Editions in the summer of 2021. Nan's story lake woman leaving, a modern myth, was awarded the 2022 Alfred Lambourne prize by Friends of Great Salt Lake. As the poet-in-residence on Antelope Island, Nan led day-and-night vigils on behalf of the imperiled Great Salt Lake throughout the 2022 and 2023 Utah State legislative sessions. During her weeks on the receding lake shore, she assembled the praise poem called irreplaceable, ;a collective love letter containing over 400 individual voices from lake-facing citizens. The epic ode is a community cry for this essential ecosystem's full restoration. In the May 2023 special issue of Desert Report, Nan offers a reflection on relationship with the lake from the perspective of two winter vigils. Nan continues to advocate for Rights of Nature, legally defensible personal rights for ecosystems, including Great Salt Lake. Her work gives voice to their inherent right to live, flourish, and evolve in natural way. The words emerge from a devotion to repairing the breach between humans and the rest of the sentient, singing earth.

Happy Spring Equinox! To welcome Spring – especially this exact Spring in the US - practicing re-enchantment in our world seemed exactly the right focus. I think this is part of what Gardeners do: practice enchantment or love with the natural world we care for. We're in conversation this week with Brooke Williams: writer, naturalist, amateur conservation ecologist, thinker, observer, and walker. Based in the Great Salt Lake region of Utah with his wife, acclaimed writer Terry Tempest Williams, Brooke writes about evolution, consciousness, and his own adventures exploring both the inner and outer wilderness in our world. He is also a Gardener, and author most recently of Encountering Dragonfly, Notes on the Practice of Re-Enchantment. Dragonflies are of course among our favorite and most enchanting of companions in the garden – our built-in pest control for other insects such as mosquitos; predators who are not themselves pests in our lives. Squadrons of dragonflies patrolling the garden or wild lands in Summer are symbols everywhere of transformation and balance. For the ecological and symbolic importance of dragonflies to our human lives, I am so pleased to welcome Brooke to Cultivating Place. Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud and iTunes.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Erin Rider  Drama between DOJ, President Trump, and federal judge continues  The drama continues this afternoon between the Department of Justice and President Trump, and a U.S. District judge requesting information about deportation flights. You'll recall that the president called for that judge's impeachment, but the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court refuses to even go down that path. Today, the Justice Department chastised the judge’s demand for more information. We begin Inside Sources with a discussion on the latest developments.    National Democrats holding town halls in Republican districts  Recent Congressional Republican town halls have been quite lively and loud, with protestors and angry constituents voicing frustrations over several things President Trump and Congress are doing. It's prompted urging from Congressional GOP leaders to stop holding town halls for a while. Now, Democrats see this as an opportunity to swoop in and make headway in these conservative districts.    Explicit bans on segregated facilities removed from federal contracts  More effects of President Trump's push to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts within the federal government today. Now, contractors who work with the government are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms, and drinking fountains. Is this a big deal or a complete nonissue? The Inside Sources hosts break it down.    Washington D.C. facing budget issues due to Congress  With all the talk of the federal budget the past few weeks, there's one piece missing... and you may not have even noticed it: Washington D.C. They actually need Congress to approve their budget, and the GOP spending bill that passed last week will require the city to cut $1 Billion of the budget... in the middle of the fiscal year. Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan discuss the uniqueness of D.C.’s relationship with the rest of the country.    Pres. Trump, Pres. Zelenskyy hold talks following explosive conversation last month  Following the explosive meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February, there was a lot of hesitation and worry about the future of a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. But following today's call between the two -- as well as yesterday's conversation between Trump and Russian President Putin -- things are looking a bit better.

The "Great Salt Lake Hopeline" is a public art project designed to bring additional awareness to preservation efforts for the lake. Awareness is great, but what about action? Inside Sources discusses some of the recent legislation regarding the Great Salt Lake.    On the Hill 2025: State may pay vendors in silver and gold  One legislative bill we never dug into on Inside Sources dealt with gold and silver. House Bill 306 -- sponsored by Rep. Ken Ivory -- would allow the state of Utah to pay vendors in actual gold or silver. It instructs the State Treasurer's office to do several things relating to this change, so we wanted to dig into that more. Utah State Treasurer Marlo Oaks joins Inside Sources to share his thoughts.    Additional files released relating to JFK’s assassination  Did Lee Harvey Oswald actually shoot and kill President John F. Kennedy? Was the CIA involved? Was it the Soviets? Or was it really aliens? Conspiracies surrounding the former president's death have percolated for more than 60 years. Now, the government is releasing thousands of documents about the assassination – documents which have never been seen by the American public.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comMalheur means “misfortune”. It comes from French-Canadian trappers who applied the name to the SE Oregon area, when in 1818, a cache of beaver furs was believed to be stolen by local indigenous people. Malheur River, Malheur County and Malheur National Wildlife Refuge all take their names from this origin story.Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is a wonder. Its main geologic feature is the basin lake: Malheur Lake. It's similar in one way to The Great Salt Lake, a closed basin lake, but Malheur is technically an intermittent basin lake. In wetter years the water flows outward and onward from the lake. This prevents salts from building up, keeping it a fresh water habitat. For this reason, and because is surrounded by arid lands, it is a migratory bird haven. The refuge was created in 1908, partly in response to the wholesale slaughter of egrets and herons for their plume feathers, which were used as ornamentation on women's hats of the time. Eventually the reserve grew to 293 square miles in size. It's a beautiful, quiet country. Sagebrush uplands surround the lake and riparian habitats. It really is something to realize that when you boil it down, the Euro-American expansion in to western North America was hastened by hat fashion. Before gold, there were beavers, herons and egrets. That's where the easy money was. Showy hats with little practical value. Beaver hides were felted and often dyed black for bowler, fedora and top hats.Today, in wet years, high numbers of nesting colonial birds, including White-faced Ibis can be found here. I associate Florida and the gulf coast with ibises, not Oregon. Observing these birds here feels novel to me. Ibis can be heard in this recording, on the wing, ranging by. There's all kinds of shorebirds too, on the shorelines and mudflats. The melodious Western Meadowlark, welcomes in the day. As for Malheur, it's arguably a word more apropos to the fate of the Native Americans than the trappers and settlers. In the winter of 2016 a different kind of “malheur” played out, but we'll save that for Part 2, next week. The environmental audio was recorded from the sagebrush uplands pointed towards the vast shallow lake wetlands. This soundstage was truly large; on the order of 1000 acres across the auditory horizon. The instrumentation is familiar for a Listening Spot recording. (This is 7th such effort.) String-like sounds with slow attack and decay rise and fall in movements. Among the more novel sounds are undulations; gently percolating guitar voices and fuzzy textures. It gets very quiet and sparse at the 19 minute mark (Track 9) near the end. A Whimbrel can be heard in the distance, while high thin tones punctuate the ambience in a plaintive sort of way. It seems like the quietest moments are usually my favorites. I hope you'll check it out.Thanks for reading and listening. I'm grateful for you.
