If you’re interested to know more about Utah and LDS water culture, today’s current water crisis in American West, and how Church’s teachings offer important perspectives for caring for our water, check out chapter 6 in my new book #tributaryvoices@LDSEarthSteward

Listening to Colorado River District’s annual water seminar. So many important perspectives shared about our current water crisis throughout the Colorado Basin. Lots of work to be done. Glad to be a part of these conversations through my book. #ColoradoWater#tributaryvoices
