About this episode
Today's podcast is going to talk about mussels! No Mike, not those mussels on top of your beefy arms, but rather Minnesota's freshwater invertebrates that are the unsung heroes of our lakes, rivers, and streams. We'll talk with Malacologists, Mike Davis and Bernard Sietman as well as Mussel Propagation Biologist, Maddie Pletta to hear about their work with these fascinating keystone species that are critically important to the health of our lakes, rivers, and streams. "Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land." -Aldo Leopold. For resources and more details related to today's episode, find us on the web at mndnr.gov/prairiepod
