    Though Idaho is still experiencing a bit of cold weather, the song of migrating birds is proof that spring is in the air.

    And as the days continue to get longer, we'll start to see more of these returning travelers in larger numbers. From cranes to swans to swallows, birds big and small are making their way back to the Gem State, some traveling thousands of miles—a journey that many experts are still working to understand.

    Which is exactly what Heidi Ware Carlisle, the Education and Outreach Director of Intermountain Bird Observatory, will be exploring in her upcoming lecture with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, on Tuesday April 2. She joined Idaho Matters for a preview.

    Idaho is considering its options after a federal court decision last week forcing the state to change its rules for wolf trapping over concerns that grizzly bears could be caught in the traps.

    Susanne Asha Stone, Director of the Idaho-based International Wildlife Coexistence Network, and Dallas Gudgell, Tribal Outreach and Environmental Policy Director with the network, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    Northern Colorado ranchers reflect on the arrival of the wolves who migrated down from Wyoming Mar 28, 2024

    This story is part of our ongoing I Respectfully Disagree series. You can also hear a longer podcast version of this story on The Modern West coming in April.

    A recent decision to reintroduce wolves has created division between rural and urban Coloradoans. But wolves have actually been there a while. A few years ago, a couple migrated down from Wyoming to settle in the mountain valley of North Park, southwest of Laramie. It’s given the ranchers there a headstart on adjusting to a new reality.

    Melodie Edwards has more with the Mountain West News Bureau.

    When it comes to Boise, there are many things that make the city special, from its diverse culture to its unique historical sites, but one of the main attractions has to be its outdoor recreation.

    With the Boise River, foothills and surrounding mountains, it's no wonder why people are drawn to the area. But did you know that these landmarks played an important role, not just in the growth of our city but also in its political and environmental history?

    That's something that Dr. Karl Brooks will be exploring next week, April 4, in his Fettuccine Forum lecture. He joined Idaho Matters for a preview.

    Have you ever looked at a painting of an Idaho landscape and been transported there in your mind?

    If so, you're not the only one. Art is a powerful medium with the ability to draw you closer to topics you may not have known you were interested in, like the environment and how we can take better care of it.

    That's part of the goal of the Idaho Conservation League's Artist in Residence Program, which is ramping back up.

    Lexi Black, the Central Idaho Community Engagement Specialist for the Idaho Conservation League, joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

    As we enter the fourth year of a world with COVID and the disease continues to spread, scientists are looking at how the virus works and why it's different from diseases we're used to, like influenza.

    Dr. David Pate is the former CEO of St. Luke's Health System and has been taking a deep dive into the science of COVID, even as it continues to evolve. He joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this and other public health concerns.

    Police and the FBI are investigating racial harassment allegations in Coeur d'Alene after an incident reported by basketball players and staff from the University of Utah.

    The team was in the city as part of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament in Spokane.

    The story gained traction this week and is now making national news. Troy Oppie, reporter and host of All Things Considered, joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

    Idaho's racist history: How the state got here and why it matters after another racist incident Mar 27, 2024

    Idaho is back in national headlines after the Utah women's basketball team experienced a racial harassment incident in Coeur d'Alene while participating in the NCAA tournament.

    This isn't the first time Idaho has made national headlines for racist incidents. And some are now asking: How did we get here? When did Idaho's racism begin? How has the Aryan Nations in north Idaho been allowed to grow?

    Now almost four years after our country was grappling with racial injustice and questions about white supremacy in 2020, it's still important to examine our roots so we can better understand how we got here today and what steps we can take to be a more inclusive and equitable place for everyone.

    These interviews originally aired in the summer of 2020 after the murder of George Floyd as we looked to unpack Idaho's complicated racist history.

    For many, spending time outside can be a relaxing experience, but did you know it can also be therapeutic?

    While forest therapy may not be as well known as other healing practices, it is one that is growing in popularity, offering both physical and mental benefits.

    And starting in April, certified nature and forest therapy guide Casey O'Leary will be leading weekly forest bathing walks for those interested in slowing down and connecting with the local environment.
