Ep. 315 – Arkansas’s Greentree Reservoirs, Pt 1: Rise to Prominence and Modern Troubles

Few scenes evoke more wonder than flocks of mallards descending into flooded timber of Arkansas’s GTRs. While consistent management of water levels for more than half a century has produced predictable habitat for waterfowl and hunters, it has come with a price. In the first of this 3-part series, Luke Naylor, waterfowl program coordinator for Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, and Jake Spears, DU biologist, join the podcast to discuss the history and declining health of Arkansas’s GTRs. www.ducks.org/DUPodcast
