Guest panel at 'Beyond 2024' event in Paonia, Colorado

Last month, High Country News, Paonia Books, and KVNF hosted a panel discussion about Building Durable Conservation in Colorado and the West. It was an intimate evening at the Blue Sage Center for the Arts. KVNF's Brody Wilson reported on the one day event held in Paonia, Colorado.

Brody is a Montrose local that grew up in the Uncompahge Valley, and recently moved back home with his wife and son after several decades away. After a career in energy efficiency, and corporate sustainability, he decided he'd climbed the corporate ladder high enough, and embraced his love of audio and community, and began volunteering for KVNF, first as a Morning Edition Host, then board member. Brody decided he couldn't get enough KVNF in his life and recently joined the staff full-time as Staff Reporter, and Morning Edition host. You can hear him every morning between 6:30 am and 8am.
