RiverSmart Communities has recently been profiled in two local pieces, the first as part of a series documenting our work on Greenfield Community TV, and the second by WGBY. All four pieces are linked here in chronological order. These include interviews with Geosciences Professors Eve Vogel and Christine Hatch, and Postdoctoral Researcher John Gartner.
