Fish in the Nish?  One year later—

How community members are working with the newly formed Nishnabotna Water

Defenders to advocate, educate and litigate!

Jodi Reese— Secretary, Nishnabotna Water Defenders

Learn about what’s taking place in the Nishnobotna watershed. It’s been a year since one of Iowa’s largest fish kills. 

Jodi Reese of the newly formed Nishnobotna Water Defenders will discuss how community members are working together to restore and protect the Nish after last year’s fish kill.  

Other experts and concerned community members  join the discussion to reflect on what has and what has not happened during this past year. They talk about how to move forward. 

Jodi is encouraged by the possibility of NWD and similar groups bringing people together to work on this common goal.  She is a nurse and grower who believes the foundation of well-being starts with what we consume and that depends on clean food and water.
