## Resource

In this episode we’re joined by Todd Forrest , NYBG’s Vice President for Horticulture and Living Collections, who turns our attention to the Bronx River—NYC’s only freshwater river and one of the highlights of the Garden’s landscape. He’ll talk us through the River’s redemption arc: from its former state as an “open sewer,” to its renewal as a hotspot for plants, animals, and the local community. We’ll discover how the Bronx River Watershed is ecologically important not only to the Garden, but to The Bronx itself—and the City at large.
