Stateside: Monday, July 4, 2022

Today on Stateside, we spoke with a reporter about Detroit’s Riverwalkers, a group that aims to teach anglers fishing in the Detroit River how to safely prepare their catch despite pollutants. Then, a paleontologist from the University of Michigan discussed an ongoing restoration project that will help study the lives of mastodons. Plus, we revisited two conversations about some of Michigan’s most beloved birds: the loon and the piping plover.
