As we look back at a year of Radio Nature, we go back to where it all started: the Bronx Rivera. Latino USA went out on a canoe ride with a group of volunteers cleaning up the riverbanks.

We end out look back at Radio Nature by talking to Andre Rivera, education specialist at the Bronx River Alliance, about how getting to know the river changed his life.

RadioNature is a year-long series that looks at how people of color connect with nature. Funding comes from the REI Foundation.
