In this episode of the show Tricia Bratcher calls in to talk with us about the impacts that DIY “off grid” marijuana farmers have (if any) on anadromous waterways in Northern California. Tricia is a biologist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and helped develop the information and tools needed to define the potential stressors caused by marijuana production using an impact measurement methodology provided by the EPA called Casual Analysis. Tricia walks us through how this works and shares some insights collected from her time on this project. --- Support the show! Buy a hat at https://gear.barbless.co.
