Ally Audio: Sparks Expanding, and a 1,000-Mile Trek Following Salmon

Sierra Nevada Ally

On this week's Ally Audio, Noah and Scott give an update on the activity in Carson City, then talk about the latest report coming out of Sparks - a city which is struggling to keep pace with its population growth and is seeking support at the federal level to unlock more lands from the federal government.

Then, we hear from our newest contributor Brooke Hess about a documentary she made where she followed the 1,000-mile trek salmon take to the sea, and the challenges facing them along the way.

This show is made possible by Press Forward, a national coalition investing more than $500 million to strengthen local newsrooms and close longstanding gaps in journalism coverage.

And from our readers and listeners at sierranevadaally.org.

Music for the show comes from local band, People with Bodies.
