As Michigan’s Rivers stretch all across the state, we’ll have quite a bit of ground to cover in this episode. To kick things off, we’ll join Stefanie Mills as she introduces us to some of Michigan’s top river experts, to take a closer look at how rivers impact and shape our lives. In Lansing, we’ll explore Michigan’s longest river, the Grand River and take a kayak trip through the Capital City. What was once used as the cities dumping site, now has become a gathering place for residents and visitors. Then, we head North to the Black River, where the sturgeon are getting a watchful eye from some very dedicated guardians. We’ll also meet photographer Steve Jessmore, whose long hours spent on Torch River have garnered some very striking images.
