Glenwood Springs fears quarry expansion, managing Colorado’s wild horses, one bear’s testimony
Description
Millions of tourists visit Glenwood Springs each year, many to visit the town's hot springs. But locals are concerned that plans to expand a nearby mining operation could forever alter that natural resource. Then, the federal government is rounding up around a thousand wild horses in the state this summer, reigniting the debate over how to manage this iconic, yet not-native species. And, bears! In our houses! In our parks! We put a bear behind the mic and ask him what's going on.
