River Talk: The Winooski and the SuncookBy Shay Zeller on Tuesday, June 27, 2006.Tonight on The Front Porch, We’ll take a look at two local rivers and the lives of the people they impact. The Epsom community is faced with what to do with the Suncook River now that it has straightened out and gone off of its man-made course, impacting businesses and wildlife along the way. Some say the river should keep its new, natural path, while others want it moved back to the way it was. We'll talk with Wildlife Biologist Eric Orff about the situation. He's the vice chair of the group New Hampshire Friends of the Suncook River. We'll also talk with writer Charles Fish about his new book, In the Land of the Wild Onion: Travels Along Vermont's Winooski River. Fish takes us down the Green Mountain State's second-largest river and uses it to show just how interconnected the ecosystem is. He uses his book to examine the river not only through his own eyes, but through those of scientists, farmers, trappers and power plant operators. listen:
