Holly Drinkuth speaking to NBC on dams in Connecticut.
25 Jan 2024
This month's partial dam breach on the Yantic River was a big reminder: Dams are important in discussions on extreme weather, community resilience, public safety, and reconnecting rivers. Holly Drinkuth of TNC in CT, spoke with NBC CT on the topic.

The amount of rain we had last week was extreme by any stretch—we can expect more intense storms that test dams and infrastructure over the next decade. The partial dam breach on the Yantic River in the Norwich area was a frightening glimpse of what may be on the horizon.

Alligator moms = original helicopter parents. Unlike most reptiles, young alligators spend 2-3 years hanging around their mom's territory so that she can keep an eye on them.

A historic day for Colorado and for the first time ever — we released 5 wolves, 3 males and 2 females, in Grand County today.
Captured in Oregon, the wolves were evaluated by our veterinarians & biologists, fitted with GPS collars & transported to Colorado for their release.
