Local Motion: A conversation about irrigation ditches being piped

Kate Redmond

On this week's edition of Local Motion, Kate Redmond has a conversation with North Fork farmers Scott Horner and Mike Straub on the effects, both good and deleterious, of Bureau of Reclamation projects to place area irrigation ditches into pipes. She also taps Jake Hartter, Watershed Program Director for the Western Slope Conservation Center; and Ralph D'Alessandro, a long-time member of the Board of the Delta Conservation District.

Kate Redmond was reared on a ranch in Routt County, Colorado in a large and boisterous family. Kate has enjoyed a career in audio and lighting, with previous stints at The Vilar Performing Arts Center, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, and Strings Pavilion. Her interests include alpine skiing, yoga, poetry, mosaics, and she's currently writing a memoir about her time in Uruguay. After several years as a KVNF volunteer, she joined the staff in December 2020. She left the KVNF staff at the end of June, 2022, to take a position at KSUT in Ignacio, CO.
