This week on Regional Roundup, we explore the legacy of Grizzly 399, Wyoming’s beloved bear, whose recent death has made national headlines and inspired memorials around the state. Then, we travel to southwest Colorado, where a Payment for Ecosystem Services program is reshaping conservation efforts by rewarding farmers who cultivate healthy ecosystems. In Lake City, we check out a powerlifting competition that builds community in this tiny mountain town. Finally, we experience the extraordinary acoustics of The Tank in Rangely, Colorado, an abandoned water tank that draws musicians from around the world.
