The V Wave Podcast
Welcome to The V Wave Podcast!
This podcast is created by a cast of river lovers who understand the river resource comes first.
On the shoulders of a healthy river do we recreate ourselves.
What comes second is river access, a VERY thorny V Wave all in itself. The V Wave discusses these things AND river ecology, recent river trips, river history, river management, and new changes on rivers. Have a topic you'd like to hear more about or help discuss? Get in touch with Tommartin@rrfw.org The V Wave is brought to you by River Runners For Wilderness.
