In this Community Conversations program, WTIP’s Jay Andersen speaks with Joan Farnam, a local artist and blogger, about turning her world travels into art.

Also in this program, WTIP’s Joe Friedrichs speaks with Evan Larson, a tree-ring scientist and associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Larson has been studying the history of fire in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness for several years. His research has expanded his ideas of what the term ‘wilderness’ means with regard to human influence.
