In October 2023, Matt Shanklin of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources recorded two podcast episodes that captured the 2023 Canadian Prairies TREX from start to finish…but they were never released. Now, we’re bringing them to you on Prairie Fire Lines.
In Part 2, Shanklin and Kody Wohlers (Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation) are on the drive home to Iowa from Saskatchewan after serving as trainers for the TREX. They talk to Renny Grilz (Meewasin) all about how it went and how they could improve for future TREX programs.
