Today we’re tagging along with journalist and writer of The Gumbo Pot, Karen Fischer, on a trip to Yellowstone, where her personal quest to spot wolves in the Lamar Valley turned into a deeper understanding of how ecosystems actually work, and why that matters for the rest of us trying to build resilient communities.
