KERA is presenting Living with the Trinity, a radio show paired with an interactive website that explores the geography, ecology, and cultural history of the Trinity River. The reports will air on 90.1 beginning tomorrow on Morning Edition (5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.), All Things Considered (4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.), and online.
Where is my soap box? Oh, here it is:Â I love the Trinity River. Last week I attended a lecture by Charles Allen, a Dallas naturalist who has canoed the river for almost 30 years. His enthusiasm about the river is infectious. Too many of us take the river for granted–the banks are filled with historic relics, fabulous birds, big old alligators, and ancient burial sites. You should see Dallas from a canoe on the Trinity. Or from the lounge at Five-Sixty in the Reunion Tower high above the river. Either way, I guarantee you will feel different about this city.
Pay attention to Living with the Trinity. Extra credit for anyone who hikes the Buckeye Trail.
