Scientists are studying trees by the banks of the Crystal River in western Colorado as they work to increase protections for the river. Peter Brown and David Cooper examine the cross-section of a spruce tree and estimate its ring count.

On this week’s Regional Roundup, we hear about efforts in Jackson, Wyoming, to address the growing epidemic of male loneliness, and a report on an attempt to remove the 10-mile buffer that protects the land around Chaco Culture National Historical Park from future oil and gas drilling. We also hear about the Rocky Mountain Indigenous Dancers, and a program in western Colorado working to diversify the next generation of farmers. We finish the show with a sound-rich portrait of cottonwood trees and a story about how scientists are studying trees along the Crystal River to help strengthen protections for the river. Tune into the Regional Roundup on KDNK.org every Thursday at 4:30 pm.
