Groundwork | 4 | Rural Gentrification in North Idaho

from Reframing Rural · host Tree Ring Records, LLC

The small North Idaho town of Dover has seen the extraction of timber, cheap labor and the natural amenities that draw tourists and second home owners with high-incomes and high-expectations for the luxuries they're accustomed to. What happens to the natural environment and community cohesion when developers build with higher-income-earners and with profits in mind? What happens to locals when they are priced out or culturally displaced? In this immersive episode, host Megan Torgerson brings listeners to the shores of the Pend Oreille River, the center of Kalispel's homeland for 10,000 years, where she interviews longtime residents, local historians and Dr. Ryanne Pilgeram whose book "Pushed Out: Contested Development and Rural Gentrification in the US West" uses Dover as a case study for how corporations cause destruction in order to profit from spaces with abundant natural beauty.
