154 - Kern County Needs A River

Bring Back the Kern is a grassroots movement, started by a group of Bakersfield natives with a deep appreciation for the Kern River. After being promised the return of the river was imminent numerous times only to be disappointed, these residents decided it was time to mobilize to bring about a swifter resolution to the issue. Their goal is to see that the Kern River is used to its highest potential by restoring water and allowing the river's natural and sensitive ecosystems to be restored for future generations. John Duffield and Kyle Jones welcome Tim McNeely, a team member from Bring Back The Kern. He discusses his passion for restoring the Kern River to its former glory and the many different ways the community can help support this worthy cause. Tim also explains why the Kern River is dry and the common misconceptions that surround the river.
