21 years Working in the Wilderness- Jim and Holly Akenson

Decades on Dirt Roads by Maddy and Katherine

Episode notes

Jim and Holly are a rare breed. Two local biologists take the chance of a lifetime, sharing a position on Taylor Ranch for the University of Idaho in the remote Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho. Over these 21 years they make amazing local discoveries in predator's and prey movements as well changing the lives of students that visited during the summer months. They share the ups and downs of living so remote as well as the tragedy of the fires of 2000. They write a very detailed account in their book : 7003 Days; 21 years in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness (which can be found on Amazon). Please welcome Jim and Holly.
