Forest Eco is a two-minute podcast and radio module distributed monthly by the U.S. Forest Service Southern Research Station.

Forest Eco brings listeners on an audio adventure into the world of Forest Service research and its scientists, who are working to better understand and solve or mitigate many of the South's natural resource challenges.

In the latest edition, we hear from Wendell Haag, a fisheries biologist whose research on freshwater mussels is helping to conserve these mollusks that play an important role in aquatic ecosystems.
