Laura's guests are Vicky Markham, Director of the Center for Environment and Population. Steve Wright, New Hampshire Regional Organizer for the National Wildlife Federation and Barry Rock, Professor of Forrest, Botany and Remote Sensing at the University of New Hampshire and Lead Editor of the New England Regional Assessment of Climate Change.
