Slough Cast
Hello! Welcome to the Slough Cast, the Elkhorn Slough Foundation podcast. Elkhorn Slough is one of California’s last great coastal wetlands. We see Elkhorn Slough and its watershed protected forever—a working landscape where people, farming, industry, and nature thrive together. Here on the Slough Cast, we’ll explore Elkhorn Slough together, build community, and share stories of this special place. https://www.elkhornslough.org/

Building Things Nobody Will See
This episode explores our work to remove one of California's most controversial invasive species—eucalyptus. At Elkhorn Slough, removing eucalyptus trees preserves groundwater, reduces wildfire risks, and restores balance to native ecosystems. But our approach is not one-size-fits-all. Juan talks with outgoing Elkhorn Slough Reserve Manager Dave Feliz, ESF Stewardship Director Dash Dunkell, and ESF Land Steward Ken Collins about where, and how, we approach this delicate and transformative area of conservation.
