Today on Colorado Edition: As coronavirus cases surge and counties ramp up health restrictions, we’ll explore the impact on schools, which are increasingly moving to fully remote learning. We also learn about an innovative way one community is helping holiday shoppers find local COVID-conscious businesses. We'll hear from a forestry expert about how this year’s record-breaking fire season could change the Colorado landscape, long-term. And, we talk with a Baltimore artist who created a touching tribute to Elijah McClain over the holiday weekend.
Today’s guests include: Chalkbeat Colorado’s bureau chief Erica Meltzer; Camille Stevens-Rumann, assistant professor of forest and rangeland stewardship at Colorado State University; and KUNC’s arts reporter Stacy Nick. This episode also features reporting from Maggie Mullen from the Mountain West News Bureau, of which KUNC is a member.
