EcoSense for Living - Recovering Rivers

"Raising Hellbenders" - For 8 years, the Nashville, Tennessee zoo has raised Hellbenders. These bizarre looking creatures are the biggest salamanders in North America, but their population needs a helping hand. Now a band of scientists will set them free in their first wild river experience. "Rainbows In The River" - Candy Darters look like they belong in the Bahamas, but these brightly striped fish thrive in cold clean mountain rivers. Their numbers have dwindled due to pollution and other pressures, but luckily, Conservation Fisheries' nursery is overflowing with these little jewels. Time to set them free! "Life After Helene" - Yancey County, northeast of Asheville, NC, suffered the highest winds and the most rainfall during Hurricane Helene. The local community has become a model of volunteers working to restore their breathtaking land and rivers. At the same time, they're trying to stop further damage from recovery efforts that don't take nature into consideration.
