Signal from the Noise
from Calls from the Wild Hosted by Louisville Public Media
Our series starts with Megan Jones, digital editor at WPLN in Nashville. Her passion for plants and animals started as a child making mud pies, and bloomed as a naturalist in New Mexico. She explains that a signal species is any living thing whose presence, absence, success or failure tells us something important about the ecosystem itself. Then we visit freshwater mussels in Kentucky and bats in West Virginia, and meet the conservationists who are working to help them.
